The Destination is the pinnacle of white winemaking at Journeyʼs End. Rich and full on entry and throughout. The nose exhibits concentrated apricot and ripe peach with layers of lime zest and orange. The fruit component is complimented by well-balanced almond and vanilla spice from generous oak aging. Minerality ensures freshness and adds linearity to a long lasting creamy finish. The Destination will reward patient cellaring for up to 10 years post bottling.

The grapes were handpicked from alternating sides of the trellis in two different stages. Morning sun
grapes are picked almost two weeks prior to afternoon sun grapes exhibiting rich developed stone
fruit and fresh zesty lime respectively. The grapes were then sorted by hand before being destemmed,
crushed and lightly pressed ensuring high quality free run juice. The juice was enzymatically settled
at cool temperatures for 72 hours before being removed from the sediment and fermented in 300L
barrels. Natural/spontaneous fermentation lasted for 40 days at temperatures ranging between 16
and 22°C. 80% of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation. Battonage was done weekly to add
enriched mouthfeel and complexity. The wine was left to mature for 10 months in 80% new French
oak barrels.
