Description
In a nutshell:
A fresh, fruity and spicy Shiraz from Stellenbosch in South Africa.
The lowdown:
A little bit of Mourvedre and a tiny bit of Viognier sit alongside the Shiraz in this full bodied wine. It's dark ruby red in colour with expressive aromas of violets, redcurrant and cherries with hints of white pepper and liquorice. On the palate those typical hedgerow berry fruit, dried herbs and white pepper spice flavours come through with a restrained use of oak adding softness. The fresh, vibrant acidity lifts the dark fruit flavours leading to a clean finish.
The Producer:
Journey's End Vineyard is a picturesque Stellenbosch wine farm surrounded by the beautiful Schapenberg hills. Since 1995 it's belonged to the Gabb Family, originally from Shropshire in the UK, who, from small beginnings, have built a highly respected estate. The family's aim is to create top-quality wines which, using minimal intervention techniques, remain true to their terroir and show a unique expression of it. And the fact that their wines are regular award winners is a good indication of the standards they maintain.
When to drink:
Being nicely smooth and full bodied makes this an excellent partner to red meats from the grill or barbie, or in winter big beefy stews are just the thing.
