W.O. Stellenbosch
Winemaking Notes
Sauvignon Blanc grapes were hand harvested from block 6A resting on South facing slopes consisting predominantly of the Tukulu type with a decomposed sandstone sediment. The is the most elevated block at Journeys End at 290m above sea level and produces vines with large canopies providing excellent protection against the prevailing South Easterly wind.
Bunches are hand sorted, destemmed, and gently crushed before undergoing eight hours of skin contact to enhance aromatic extraction – all done in a very reductive style. The juice was cold settled before being racked into the stainless-steel fermentation tanks. Temperatures were kept below 13°C throughout the fermentation to retain aromatic intensity. The fermentation lasted 30 days at low temperatures after which the wine was racked into separate steel maturation vessels for 10months with regular lees stirring for additional mouthfeel. This wine is fined using bentonite and is suitable for vegans. B
Tasting Notes
Clear pale lemon colour with hints of green. A pronounced nose with lime, green fig, kiwifruit, gooseberries, and hints of herbaceous and mineral characteristics. The palate displays beautiful kiwifruit and tangy green apple flavour on the palate. A lovely weight and round-mouth feel on the mid-palate, balanced acidity bringing freshness and length to the finish. Ready to drink now.

Journeys End ‘Weather Station’ Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Journeys End ‘Weather Station’ Sauvignon Blanc 2023
R125.00An important name in the Western Cape. This Sauvignon Blanc was named The Weather Station because the SB11 clone which is the component used in this wine, had a big resurgence in the 1970’s in Stellenbosch, and the Afrikanners aptly named it the ‘Weerstasie Kloon’. Its name derived from its location next to an old Weather Station. Which is now the Stellenbosch Wine Campus!
