This Grenache Rose is made from vineyards nestled in the Citrusdal Mountains, which provides the perfect natural environment for vineyards to thrive. At 750 meters above sea level, the plateau’s climate is characterised by warm days and cool evenings., which allow grapes to slowly ripen and develop complex fruit flavours. Grapes were handpicked very early in the morning allowing the grapes to retain their fruitiness and flavour.

After arrival at the cellar, the whole bunches were hand selected before the crushed berries were transferred into a stainless-steel tank. After crushing, the grapes underwent a three-hour skin contact in static drainers before being fermented under controlled conditions at 13°C. This wine was bottled 3 weeks after the fermentation completed to ensure that the fresh fruit flavours shine through.

Journey’s End is a Stellenbosch wine estate owned by the Gabb family, who have developed the property and its vineyards since 1995. With a focus on Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and other classic varieties, the estate produces site-driven South African wines shaped by its elevated vineyards and Stellenbosch terroir.
