Journey’s End Ad Infinitum Sauvignon Blanc – Semillon 2022

R395.00

A play on words with Journey’s End, the name Ad Infinitum is a nod to the wine’s compelling length on the palate, which seems to go on and on to infinity. The cool sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean lends our white Bordeaux blend complexity, elegance and a saline freshness.

A youthful yet complex wine displaying violets and cherry with white pepper on the nose. The use of American oak adds subtle caramel notes as well as palate weight and mouthfeel. Although rich and succulent, silky polished tannins provide structure and an elegant lingering finish.

Ageability:
Enjoy now or gracefully age for up to 5 years.

Description

Wine of Origin: Stellenbosch

Blend: 87% Sauvignon Blanc, 13% Semillon

 

Winemaking Notes:
The very best grapes from Sauvignon Blanc block 6A , and our 25-year-old Semillon vines from Black 12, were handpicked early in the morning to retain the delicate aromas of the fruit. These vineyards lie at the Southern extremity of the Stellenbosch wine region and exhibit naturally high acidity, freshness and saline minerality that is clearly expressed in the wine.

The vineyards are situated 200m above sea level, and just 7km from the ocean, with soil types of Tukulu and Oakleaf.

 

Tasting Notes:
The Ad Infinitum is a passion project in appreciation of all things white Bordeaux, lime in colour and exhibiting pronounced green fig, kiwifruit, lemongrass, and Cape gooseberry. The palate is full, rich, and round with apparent salinity and granite minerality. Light oak toasting allows for absolute freshness and fruit expression while adding body and weight.
