Among the rolling, southfacing slopes of the prestigious Stellenbosch winelands, cooled by constant coastal breezes, lies the boutique winery, Journey’s End. They not only make outstanding wines, but are also very community minded. Their range, however, is small, with the emphasis very much on premium, handcrafted wines of quality. Their Winemaker Selection Chardonnay uses coastal-cooled grapes, treated to all the Grand Cru methods. Wild yeasts, fermentation in French oak barrels, lees stirring and 9 months ageing in cask – all the techniques used for fine Burgundy. This is a complex wine, a delicious balance of bright citrus, tropical fruit and savoury oak tones. A white to savour on its own, or pair with salmon en croûte or chicken pie.
