Description
In a nutshell:
A bold Stellenbosch Shiraz with juicy blackberries, a crack of pepper, and a velvety finish - big and confident, but not in your face.
The lowdown:
Part of Journey's Ends V series, the V3 is a Shiraz and it channels the style of a classic Rhone Syrah, even though it's matured with a bit of American oak along the French. The result is a wine brimming with dark cherry, raspberry, and blueberry, layered with violets, white pepper, and a touch of smoky, savoury spice. Full-bodied yet fresh, it's got silky tannins and a lovely balance that keeps it lively and approachable. A sophisticated red that's complex but not overbearing - something a bit special without getting too pretentious.
The Producer:
Tucked away In Stellenbosch's Schapenberg hills, Journey's End Vineyards have a view that would make even the most jaded traveller pause. It's not just a pretty spot though - this part of the world is tailor-made for growing grapes. Owned by the Gabb family since 1995, originally from Shropshire in the UK, they've grown from modest beginnings into a highly respected estate. Their philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: minimal intervention, maximum expression of the terroir. The results are wines that speak for themselves - and the steady stream of awards they get suggests they've struck the right balance between craft and nature.
When to drink:
Lamb tagine, spiced koftas, or a smoky baba ganoush all work a treat, with the wine's dark fruit and spice matching those bold flavours nicely.
