The Journey's End Pastor's End presents itself in the classic Bordeaux style of the old world! It ensnares the nose with lush dark aromas of red fruits, blackcurrants and dark cherries. This aroma, already sniffed by the nose, also extends seamlessly to the palate, where it is superbly complemented by delicious nuances of sweet tobacco and Christmas fruit cake. The wine's well-integrated tannin structure provides stunning elegance and a pleasantly long finish.

The grapes were hand-picked at dusk and on arrival at the winery were first stored overnight in the cold store. The next morning, the berries were hand-sorted, completely destemmed and pumped into stainless steel tanks for the following fermentation process, where the berries were subjected to a 72-hour cold swelling phase. Afterwards, yeast was separately added to all the grape varieties to start the fermentation process. Once fermentation was complete, the grapes, still separately, matured for 14 months in third and fourth-stock French barriques. Once the fermentation was complete, the grapes were blended, lightly refined and bottled.
