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.
