Product Notes

Journey's End V3 Shiraz is a bold and robust red wine that showcases the best of South African winemaking. With a deep ruby color and enticing aromas of blackberries, plums, and subtle hints of vanilla, this wine offers a rich and complex flavor profile. On the palate, notes of dark fruits, spice, and oak are well-balanced, with a smooth tannin structure and a long, lingering finish. Perfect for pairing with grilled meats or hearty dishes, Journey's End V3 Shiraz is sure to impress even the most discerning wine connoisseurs. Savor the journey with every sip of this exceptional wine.

Tasting Notes

An expressive aromatic delivery of blackcurrants and violets with white pepper and notes of dried coriander. This wine showcases its carbonic component which adds an element of playful candified fruit while softening the tannins for easy drinkability. Generous oak aging in larger format barrels allows the vineyard character to shine, with great natural acidity and a silky long-lasting finish. Already drinking well. Best drunk now and until 2030.

About the Winery

Journey's End

Located in the premium wine producing area of Stellenbosch in South Africa, the Journey’s End winery was established in 1995 by the Gabbs Family. The family acquired the estate and the 20 hectares of vineyards during this time to make high-quality, terroir-driven wines. Today, in less than three decades, the family owns close to 12o hectares of land.

In the year 2010, the family finished constructing a technologically-sophisticated, 350-ton crush winery on the estate. Immediately, the Journey’s End group also acquired the neighbouring Mount Rozier Wine Estate as well, along with the 45-hectare vineyard that was part of the deal. This helped the group to spread its wings high and achieve phenomenal progress within a short time.

Sustainability and minimum intervention are the two main principles followed by the winemaking team at Journey’s End, to retain the original flavours of the fruit as much as possible. The wine range produced by this label is divided into three categories – Tales Range, V Range and Precision Range. These ranges of wines are unique and display different but complex characteristics based on the terroirs where they were crafted.
