Tasting Note

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.

Product Notes

Journey's End Cape Doctor is a splendid South African wine, characterised by its elegant, full-bodied taste. Produced in the famed Stellenbosch region, it masterfully embodies the climate and rich soil of its origin. This red blend offers a bold bouquet of blackcurrant, cherry and dark chocolate, underlined subtly by flavours of smoky oak and vanilla. Ageing gracefully, the Cape Doctor maintains a delicate balance of sweetness and firm tannins, delivering a truly sophisticated palate experience. This attractively complex wine finishes opulently and is a fitting tribute to the cape's 'Doctor' winds that nurture the vines.
