While making the selection of African wines, tasting this red blend, all the sommeliers agreed that this wine has an “X factor”, flavor which is super attractive and distinct from everything that we have tried so far. The blend is from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, the vines are 30 years old and the soils are rich in very interesting colorful decomposed granite which we find responsible for the charming minerality and spiciness which makes the wine stand out. The aging is 16 months in oak but it does not dominate the flavor at all. Succulent notes of black cherry and blue plum are very expressive, followed by savory flavors of sweet tobacco and Christmas cake. Adorable African find which can age gracefully for at least 7 years and would be sensational with barbeque and game meats.

Journey's ends Vineyards

Journey's ends Vineyards

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, the vineyard is 40 hectares amongst the Schapenberg hills, beneath which lay 350 million year old decomposed granite soils. This creates one of the most prestigious terroirs in South Africa, and is where Jorney’s End vines are planted. As well as fantastic views, the vineyards benefit from the cooling and cleansing south-easterly wind, known locally as the ‘Cape Doctor’, which comes in from nearby False Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. 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 flavors 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. There is also the Swartland range in partnership with producers from this region as well as the Mount Rozier range. These ranges of wines are unique and display different but complex characteristics based on the terroirs where they were crafted.

Стеленбош

Стеленбош

Стеленбош е най-популярният винен район в Южна Африка. Намира се само на 25 километра източно от Кейп Таун, сравнително близко до Атлантическия океан. Състои се основно от полегати хълмове, които са осеяни с лозя. Редуването на ветровити хълмове с по-хладен климат и защитени от ветровете по-топли долини създават микротероари с разнообразни климатични условия, които са подходящи за различни сортове и различни стилове вина. Районът притежава и уникално разнообразие от над 50 различни вида почви: гранитни и шистови най-вече на хълмистите части и песъкливо глинести в по-равнинните части и долините, като всички тези почви са много благоприятни за отглеждане на лозя и качествено узряване на гроздето, а също и предразполагат към вина с различен характер, дори и от едни и същи сортове. От по-свежи, леки и елегантни към по плътни, наситени и концентрирани вина. Климатът е сравнително топъл с много интензиво слънце до обяд, но има и хладни течения от югоизток, най-вече следобяд от близостта с Атлантическия океан. Каберне Совиньон и Шенин Блан са най-добре изявяващите се сортове от района, като Каберне Совиньонът развива очарователно землисто ухание и минерално усещане на вкус, особено от лози засадени на гранитни почви, а Шенина се получава изключително свеж, изобилен, плодово ароматен и наситен, а и е добре адаптивен, тъй като толерира сушите и горещините, характерни за летата в Стеленбош. Сира, Пти Вердо, Мерло, Шардоне, Совиньон Блан и Ризлинг също даават страхотни вина от този тероар, като специален е Пинотажът, уникален, червен сорт кръстоска между Пино Ноар и Сензо създаден в Южна Африка през 1925 година. Стеленбош е родното място на този сорт и както почвите, така и климатичните и топографски особености са много подходящи за отглеждането му.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
