Journey’s End The Wild One Rosé 2023

R125.00

The Tales Range conjures the stories of Journey’s End, the history and evolution of our estate, transporting you with each glass to the stunning Stellenbosch winelands, where it all began. 

The grenache grapes in the Journey’s End’s delicate but vivacious rosé, hail from the Swartland, making it the Wild Child of the group. Hitherto an arid and windswept wilderness better known for sheep and wheat farming, the challenging terroir of the wild West Coast of South Africa is brim-full of potential to grow fantastic grapes.

Wild strawberry, cherry and cranberry abound, with subtle hints of rose petal and crisp acidity, leads to a dry and rounded finish.

Description

Wine of Origin: Coastal Region

 

Grape: 100% Grenache

 

Winemaking Notes:
This Grenache Rosé is made from vineyards nestled in the Citrusdal Mountains, some 50 km from the well-known Swartland wine region. This area provides the perfect natural environment for vineyards to thrive. At 750 meters above sea level, the plateau’s climate is characterised by warm days and cool evenings, which allow grapes to slowly ripen and develop complex fruit flavors. Grapes were handpicked very early in the morning allowing the grapes to retain their fruitiness and flavour. After arrival at the cellar the whole bunches were hand selected before the crushed berries were transferred into a stainless-steel tank. After crushing the grapes underwent a three-hour skin contact in static drainers before being fermented under controlled conditions
