Journeys End V2 Merlot 2020
Merlot
Description
Journey’s End Vineyards is situated on the south-facing slopes of the Schapenberg in Stellenbosch, close to False Bay. This elevated maritime location benefits from cooling ocean breezes that slow ripening and help grapes retain freshness, resulting in wines with balance, concentration and natural poise.
The estate has become known for modern precision winemaking, sustainability and a strong social impact philosophy. The V Series highlights varietal purity and the character of the estate’s coastal vineyards. The V2 Merlot 2020 reflects a polished Stellenbosch style, combining ripe fruit depth with softness, structure and refined oak integration.
Colour:
Ruby red with bright clarity and youthful vibrancy.
Nose:
Blackcurrant, raspberry and ripe plum aromas lead first, followed by subtle blackcurrant leaf, vanilla and a touch of nutmeg spice.
Palate:
Smooth and generous, with layers of dark berry fruit, cassis and plum supported by silky tannins. The oak is well judged, adding texture and warmth without overshadowing the fruit. Fresh acidity keeps the palate balanced and energetic.
Finish:
Long and polished, finishing with black fruit, soft spice and a gentle savoury note.
