A very modern 250-ton cellar provides winemaker, Leon Esterhuizen, with all the tools to produce the highest-quality wines with minimal interference in the natural winemaking process. Journey’s End is the first cellar in the Cape winelands to install a Defranchesi Cylindrical Fermenter Rotocaps: while fermenting reds, it has a delicate process of mixing grapes with juice to get even colour and enhance fruit extraction.

Future plans include the installation of bottling facilities and the building of a warehouse, barrel store and venue for private tastings.

The stylish new tasting centre, glassed on three sides, overlooks the barrel cellar and embraces the untrammelled beauty of the panoramic vista. The décor is elegantly minimalist and chic, and the centre spills out onto a spacious terrace, offering spectacular views of mountains, vineyards and False Bay, all the way across to Cape Point.

Personalised wine-tastings with the winemaker, Leon Esterhuizen, are available by appointment only, from Monday to Saturday, 09h00 until 17h00.
