Among the long rolling south-facing slopes of the Stellenbosch winelands, caressed by cool coastal breezes, lies the boutique winery and vineyard, Journey’s End. With only a handful of premium, hand-crafted wines produced here, the focus is very much on quality.
No more than 25,000 dozen bottles of estate wine are produced in a typical vintage – many of which regularly collect trophies on the international circuit. In fact, thanks to its sea-facing slopes, excellent soils and the exceptional wines emerging from the general area, the Schapenberg terroir has begun to draw comparison with the likes of Bordeaux.

TREBUCHET in Shropshire: A car is flung. Hundreds gathered on a farm in south Shropshire yesterday (SUNDAY 23rd JUNE) and looked on in amazement as a 60ft trebuchet Ð a medieval siege weapon Ð hurled a church organ, a car and a petrol bomb across a field, raising hundreds of pounds in the process. The trebuchet was commissioned by JourneyÕs End Wines, an award-winning vineyard in South Africa, to raise funds for a new organ at Acton Round Church, near Bridgnorth, and causes local to the winery near Stellenbosch.
YesterdayÕs event also marked the official launch of the JourneyÕs End 2008 Trebuchet Syrah. Rollo Gabb, who lives near Craven Arms, and whose family owns and runs JourneyÕs End, said: ÒEver since I first saw a trebuchet in action nearly 20 years ago I have wanted to include one in a project Ð and tying it in with one of our vintages seemed like an ideal opportunity … yesterdayÕs event went a long way to providing Acton Round Church with a new organ, the trebuchet will hopefully continue to be used for fundraisers for many years to come … It is being painstakingly taken apart and shipped to the vineyard near Stellenbosch before then being rebuilt … I’m planning to raise funds for various projects in South Africa by people donating to watch the trebuchet flinging items such as empty wine barrels”.
