Journeys End Haystack Chardonnay 2025
Chardonnay
Description
Journey’s End is a family-owned Stellenbosch estate situated on the south-facing slopes of the Schapenberg, where elevated vineyards and cooling False Bay breezes help produce wines with freshness, balance and structure. The estate is widely recognised for its sustainability focus, combining quality winemaking with social upliftment and environmentally responsible farming.
Journey’s End Haystack Chardonnay 2025 forms part of the Tales Range, with each wine inspired by a story from the farm. “Haystack” refers to the traditional practice of planting wheat between vineyard rows to suppress weeds naturally and stabilise topsoil. This reflects the estate’s organic and biodynamic principles, where vineyard health and biodiversity play a central role. The wine is made mostly in stainless steel, with a small portion fermented in older French oak and matured on lees to build texture while preserving fruit purity.
Colour:
Clear, bright straw gold with a youthful green tint.
Nose:
Fresh aromas of apple, ripe pear and citrus lead the nose, followed by subtle tropical fruit and a gentle creamy note.
Palate:
Light- to medium-bodied and vibrant, showing pear, citrus and tropical fruit flavours balanced by crisp acidity. Lees ageing adds a rounded texture, while restrained oak influence gives softness rather than weight.
Finish:
Clean and refreshing, with lingering fruit and a subtle buttery edge.
