Bees Knees Chenin Blanc Viognier 2022
“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.
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 and, thanks to the warm 2017 vintage, you’ll enjoy even more rich, juicy fruit notes. In the glass, look forward to ripe tangerine, apricot, pear, and orange blossom aromas. On the palate, bright orchard- and zingy citrus-fruit flavors are 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.
