Rory, a melbourne retailer has advertised the Journeys End wines online a number of times. The range is fairly complete, and seems to be Limestone Coast/McLaren Vale based (I think??). This retailer rates them fairly well, but they rate everything very well....

Just my guess, but an educated one, I reckon Journey's End is that retailer's own label, never seem them anywhere else.

Looked like a really cheesy marketing exercise to me.

But it doesnt tell you who is behind the wines. There is a sales guys name mentioned and the winemaker is Ben Riggs. Looks more like a branding and marketing operation than anything else.

Torb,
if you go to the website of the winery and look at the tasting notes on each of the wines, you will see that the tasting notes of the retailer is exactly the same.
