Journey’s End V3 Cab.Franc

Elegant, expressive and beautifully structured, Journey’s End V3 Cabernet Franc forms part of the estate’s Varietal Series – a collection created to showcase the character of Journey’s End’s Stellenbosch vineyards through carefully selected, fruit-driven wines.

This sophisticated Cabernet Franc opens with intense ripe cherry, savoury olive and wild fynbos aromas, complemented by warming notes of cinnamon spice from its French oak maturation. Coastal freshness and distinctive minerality bring balance to the palate, while soft, powdery tannins lead into a long and refined finish.
