Journeys End V1 Chardonnay 2024
Chardonnay
Description
Journey’s End is situated on the south-facing slopes of the Schapenberg in Stellenbosch, where cooling breezes from nearby False Bay help grapes ripen slowly while retaining freshness. This maritime influence, combined with decomposed granite and structured vineyard soils, makes the estate particularly strong for Chardonnay. Owned by the Gabb family, Journey’s End has built a reputation for sustainable farming and modern winemaking that respects site expression. The V Series showcases individual varietals with clarity and finesse, and Journey’s End V1 Chardonnay 2024 is crafted in French oak, concrete eggs and clay amphorae to combine fruit purity, texture and subtle complexity.
Colour:
Pale gold with a bright straw hue.
Nose:
Ripe citrus, pineapple and white peach aromas lead, followed by hints of toasted almond, vanilla, wet stone and gentle spice.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a creamy but focused texture. Tropical and stone fruit flavours are balanced by fresh acidity and a saline mineral edge. Oak influence is integrated and restrained, adding roundness rather than heaviness.
Finish:
Long and clean, with lingering citrus zest, subtle nuttiness and refreshing minerality.
