Tasting Notes

Upfront fruit, with some minty undertones on the nose. Fruit cake and herbal eucalyptus notes give the wine an earthy character. Gentle, ripe fruit on the palate, with firm tannins and a supple sweetness that gives the wine a lingering aftertaste; it is full-bodied and complex.

About the Winery

The first thing that strikes you about Journey's End is the stunning, panoramic view of the unspoilt natural beauty. The vineyards undulate over 20 hectares of land, with Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain providing a postcard backdrop. The location's charm is not limited to its visual allure; its unique climate yields stone fruits and mellow tannins, allowing for the production of world-class wines.

Founded in 1996 by the Gabb family, the winery is deeply rooted in tradition, yet innovative through its approach to winemaking. At the heart of this operation is a commitment to sustainable and socially responsible viticulture. Solar panels provide a large portion of the winery's energy, whilst 30 hives of bees contribute to the biodiversity of the vineyard.

While the production of superb wines is a significant part of Journey's End, forging meaningful relationships with customers is just as important. The winery's hospitable staff extend the warmest of welcomes to visitors, guiding them on tours and tastings that often culminate in a meal at the on-site restaurant. This eatery not only offers gourmet cuisine but also magnificent views over False Bay,

At Journey's End, every bottle is more than just a blend of grapes; it's a culmination of passion, effort, and the unique terroir that the fruits are born from. Journey's End winery is undoubtedly a testament to the transformative power of local agriculture and the magic that results when the human spirit is in harmony with nature.
