Product Notes

Journey's End The Pastors Blend Cabernet Merlot is a standalone wine with a magnificent charm. Hailing from South Africa's prestigious Stellenbosch region, this wine combines the bold richness of Cabernet Sauvignon with the lush fruitiness of Merlot. Exhibiting an alluring dark ruby colour, it teases your palate with an intricate blend of blackcurrant, candied cherry and roasted coffee notes. The palate is layered, with velvety tannins creating an enduring and beautifully balanced finish. Aged perfectly in French oak barrels, this pastor's blend is an opulent feast for tastebuds, delivering an intriguing complexity and finesse that is undeniably luxurious.

Tasting Notes

A well-judged partnership of the classic Bordeaux varieties, resulting in an elegant, harmonious wine for earlier drinking rather than long cellaring. Juicy plums and brambleberries, a savoury spice dusting from the oak, some dried herbs, giving it versatility for a range of food dishes.
