The Cape Doctor is the local name for the strong south-easterly wind that blows from False Bay and continues on to Cape Town. The Journey's End Cape Doctor Bordeaux blend is named after this local wind, which is crucial to the wine's unique character. These vineyard blocks are protected from the strong Cape Doctor wind by a eucalyptus forest and are located only 7 km from the sea, giving the wine a fresh natural acidity and mineral saltiness.
This wine displays fruit on the darker side of the spectrum with cassis and rich fruitcake on the nose, accompanied by cinnamon spice and dark chocolate from generous oak ageing. The concentrated dark berries are complimented by a creamy texture with soft elegant tannins delivering a beautiful long-lasting finish.
