About this Item
2007 The Journeyman
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
- Arguably one of SA's rarest wines, The Journeyman is the pinnacle of Marc Kent's winemaking vision and one of SA's true cult wines. Made only in exceptional vintages, the 2005 was the maiden commercial release and sold out in a flash.
- Usually Cabernet Franc led, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It was named after Marc Kent's cockney grandfather, who was described as 'The Journeyman' on his father's birth certificate, this wine is a personal expression that celebrates the unique and the individual.
- 'Over time, Boekenhoutskloof has established that Cabernet Franc is the cultivar best suited to the terroir of our property in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, with three top-performing blocks having been planted in 1994 and 1995. The remainder of the grapes comes from a 23-year old Merlot block, also on Boekenhoutskloof'. - Winemaker

Critics Ratings
'Juicy red and bright fruited. The palate is savoury and clean; layered with a long salty end. There is a deeply woven saline and seashell /oyster complexity that is interwoven with beautiful fruit pristine fruit. Concentrated on the palate, the freshness and lively acidity adds to the impressive depth of fruit while the palate has a great finish. In short a compelling wine.' - James Pietersen 2020, 95/100
