Wine Enthusiast wrote, "South African wines offer impressively good value". And it's not all about value, there's great quality, with exciting sustainability projects to boot. Our Winery of the Year, Journey's End, leads many of these - Fairtrade, Carbon Neutral and 'Ethical Drinks Co 2020'. Plus, of course, they make delicious wines like Queen Bee. Viognier with a touch of Chenin, this bright, exotic white is causing quite the buzz with customers. It's named after the Cape honey bee, that benefits from the use of natural treatments on the vines and the large areas of land that the team leave uncultivated to encourage local flora, fauna and bees! All fruit, no oak, this white is charm in a glass – on its own, with chicken or spicy Thai.
