Aoife Curtin, UK Brand Development Manager, Journey’s End
This month we are delighted to welcome Aoife Curtin, who is presenting to us for the first time.
Aoife is UK Brand Development Manager for South Africa’s Journey’s End winery. She is a young and hugely enthusiastic ambassador for their winery. And she is excited about showing our members wines from across the winery’s portfolio. Regular members will know that I am always keen to offer our members an evening tasting wines from a single winery, as it gives the opportunity to explore the wines in more depth.
In 1996 the Gabb family, originally from Shropshire, UK, fell in love with the Journey’s End wine farm, restoring it to what it is today, now surrounded by 40 hectares of beautiful vineyards. They feel fortunate to be nestled amongst the Schapenberg hills, beneath which lay 350-million-year-old decomposed granite soils. This creates one of the most prestigious terroirs in South Africa, and is where their vines are planted.
This promises to be a really interesting evening and early booking is advised.
