Flavor Profile
“With quality remarkably high and consistent, I was particularly struck by Journey’s End…Winemaker Leon Esterhuizen clearly does a fine job.” – Jancis Robinson, MW
The Gabb family’s estate, Journey’s End, is a small, quality-driven operation that’s putting South Africa on the fine wine map—with the acclaim from top shows like the International Wine Challenge and the Decanter World Wine Awards plus the plaudits from critics (like Jancis) to prove it.
In fact, the 2021 edition of best-selling Bees Knees arrives with a gold medal from judges at France’s prestigious Gilbert & Gaillard wine guide. Judges wrote, “Tropical nose with hints of butterscotch and stone fruit. White pear and peach on the medium palate with a racy, but well-integrated acidity. Refreshing and crisp. Will age well for a few more years.”
With its whimsical label, intense aromatics, and super-ripe fruit character, their Chenin Blanc-Viognier truly is “the bee’s knees.” You’ll taste why it’s a regular customer favorite—look forward to ripe tangerine, apricot, pear, and orange blossom aromas with bright orchard- and zingy citrus-fruit flavors lifted by notes of fresh-cut grass and subtle spice.
Easy to enjoy on its own, this is also tasty with equally aromatic foods (think Thai or Indian), savory white meats, or strong-flavored cheeses. Secure your share today.
