Journey's End

The Pioneer Malbec 2022

  • Western Cape
  • South Africa
  • 3.7/5.0

South African Malbec with a hint of adventure. The nose offers aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and a touch of violet. Deep purple in color, this wine presents moderate tannins and balanced acidity. On the palate, flavors of dark fruits, subtle spice, and a hint of chocolate create an approachable profile. The finish is moderately long with a pleasant warmth. While it may lack some of the intensity of its Argentine cousins, it’s an interesting exploration of Malbec’s potential in Stellenbosch.
