Product Notes

Journey's End Cape Doctor is a resplendent wine of remarkable finesse from South Africa. Its classic Bordeaux blend reflects a harmonious fusion of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The wine exhibits a deep ruby hue and a beguiling bouquet of red fruits, subtly underscored by delicate oak nuances. The palate is ripe yet well-structured, offering layers of berry fruits interlaced with hints of mocha and sweet spices. It's a full-bodied wine with fine-grained tannins, culminating in a long, satisfying finish. Ideal with roasted meats or mature cheeses. Truly an epitome of South African winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Deep fruitcake richness on the nose, cinnamon and nutmeg spices, followed by a perfectly balanced, silky smooth, streamlined body. Misleadingly accessible, despite the current appeal, there is enough underlying power for a long future ahead.
