Beyond the Label

“With quality remarkably high and consistent, I was particularly struck by Journey’s End…Winemaker Leon Esterhuizen clearly does a fine job.”
– Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine

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 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. Their most recent award? They were named 2022 Ethical Company of the Year from The Drinks Business.

Speaking of awards, the 2022 edition of best-selling Bees Knees Chenin Blanc Viognier arrives with a gold medal from France’s prestigious Gilbert & Gaillard wine guide. Judges wrote, “Rich nose with a hint of dried fruit. Palate is smooth and elegant with stone fruit and quince. Full and lengthy on the rich aftertaste.”

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 fruit and zingy citrus 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.
