Journey’s End V1 Chardonnay 2022

R228.00

Region: Helderberg

Tasting note:

Clear and bright, straw with a hint of green. The wine shows delicate citrus fruit and orange blossom characteristics. This is a fruit forward wine with a smooth pallet and zesty finish due to restrained malolactic fermentation. Well balanced with subtle lactone notes providing layered complexity. The natural incorporation of mineral and saline notes promises a unique coastal style Chardonnay which will reward patient cellaring. Drink now with potential aging until 2027.

In 1995, the Gabb family purchased their beautiful Journey’s End vineyard in the Stellenbosch winelands. From the beginning their focus has been on ethically and sustainably producing delicious premium wines. Supporting the local Sir Lowry’s Pass Village community is also key. In 2020, it launched a foundation which now provides over 30,000 meals a week to those in need.
Chardonnay grapes were hand harvested from blocks resting on South facing slopes consisting of Oakleaf and Tukulu soil types. These sites are on the foothills of Sir Lowry’s Mountain Pass and exhibit a unique maritime influence. Elevated at 250m above sea level with a proximity of 7km from the eastern side of the False Bay coastline, cooling coastal winds and extreme diurnal fluctuations allow for longer ripening periods while still maintaining high natural acidity and very apparent salinity.
