Due to staff absences caused by illness, our currently very popular winter clearance sale, and several newly arrived containers, we are unfortunately taking around 3 working days longer than usual to process your order at the moment.

We are doing our best to return to our usual delivery times as soon as possible, and we thank you very much for your understanding.

Information about "Journey's End Cape Doctor 2020"

The Journey's End Cape Doctor embodies the spirit of the iconic southeast wind that sweeps through the vineyards near Cape Town. Shielded by a grove of eucalyptus trees, and located just 7 km from the ocean, this wine gains a natural freshness and mineral saltiness. It exhibits aromas of dark fruits, such as cassis and rich fruitcake, complemented by notes of cinnamon and dark chocolate from generous oak aging. A silky texture and refined tannins lead to a lingering mineral finish that invites contemplation.

Treatment in the cellar

35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec, 10% Petit Verdot.

The grapes from each block were harvested and processed separately, using both stainless steel tanks and 5,000-litre barrels with cut tops. Before fermentation, all grapes underwent cold maceration for four days. After fermentation, the Cabernet Sauvignon underwent secondary fermentation for two weeks to ensure a solid tannin structure before maturing in barrels for 22 months. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are aged 100% in new French oak barrels, while the other grape varieties are aged in second-fill French oak barrels. Only the best barrels of each grape variety were selected for the final blend.
