Journey's End Wild Child Grenache Rosé is a vibrant and refreshing wine that captures the essence of summer in a glass. This South African Rosé exudes aromas of strawberries, raspberries, and watermelon, with a hint of floral notes that transport you to a sunny garden. On the palate, it offers a burst of ripe red fruit flavors, balanced by a crisp acidity and a subtle mineral undertone. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant sensation of juicy fruit and a touch of spice. This wine is perfect for sipping on a warm day or pairing with light summer dishes.

Tasting Notes

This beautiful light salmon pink coloured wine features aromatics and flavours of fresh strawberry rose pedals and orange blossom. In the background lingers some Turkish delight and potpourri. Dry and crisp with a medium body. The acid is bright and well-balanced, making it a perfect wine to enjoy on its own or with salads and cheese plates.

About the Winery

Located in the premium wine producing area of Stellenbosch in South Africa, the Journey’s End winery was established in 1995 by the Gabbs Family. The family acquired the estate and the 20 hectares of vineyards during this time to make high-quality, terroir-driven wines. Today, in less than three decades, the family owns close to 12o hectares of land.

In the year 2010, the family finished constructing a technologically-sophisticated, 350-ton crush winery on the estate. Immediately, the Journey’s End group also acquired the neighbouring Mount Rozier Wine Estate as well, along with the 45-hectare vineyard that was part of the deal. This helped the group to spread its wings high and achieve phenomenal progress within a short time.

Sustainability and minimum intervention are the two main principles followed by the winemaking team at Journey’s End, to retain the original flavours of the fruit as much as possible. The wine range produced by this label is divided into three categories – Tales Range, V Range and Precision Range. These ranges of wines are unique and display different but complex characteristics based on the terroirs where they were crafted.
