Clear pale lemon colour with hints of green. The edition of the Weather Station displays pronounced green apple, citrus and grapefruits complimented by salty minerality and hints of kiwifruit. A lovely weight and round-mouth feel on the mid-palate, balanced natural acidity bringing with it freshness and length to the finish. Ready to drink now.

Bunches are hand sorted, destemmed, and crushed gently. Eight hours of skin contact enhances aromatic extraction, and the juice is settled enzymatically before being racked into the fermentation tanks. The wine was kept in stainless steel tanks for 4 months, with the temperature maintained at 13°C to retain the intensity of the aromas. Weekly lees stirring added richness, complexity and helps the wine age gracefully over time.

Journeys End

In 1995 the Gabb family (originally from Shropshire UK) took control of this picturesque wine farm surrounded by 20 ha of gorgeous vineyards. They have invested heavily in both the vineyards and the winery since then – with the estate growing to 120ha by July 2011. The initial Journey’s End investment was made by Roger Gabb who at that time was Founder and Managing Director of Western Wines. Following the sale of Western Wines to Constellation brands in 2006 the family turned their focus to their estate Journey’s End. Upon taking the helm in 2007 Roger’s son Rollo has since invested further into the estate through vineyard purchases and infrastructure.
