2 Botttle gift pair from Bruce Jackes Heritage Selection
Bruce Jack Clean Slate Reserve Single Vineyard Overberg Shiraz 750ml
Tasting Note
Rich & voluptuous aromas, lush layers of dark fruit & milk chocolate. Decadent ripe plum & a hint of black pepper on the palate.
Food Pairing
All you really need for this wine is a magnificent view and an African sunset. Preferably in the bush, with the smell of wood fire smoke, baked red earth, crushed dried grass and the roar of a territorial lion in the distance.
Winemaking
Shiraz grows like it wants to fly away especially on the precarious slopes of our windswept mountain in the Overberg Highlands. This is a registered 0.45ha single vineyard wine, planted in shattered slate and granitic rock at an altitude of 420m above sea level.

The Emotion

You are a jet setter, a mystery, an A-lister, that queue-jumper we cant help smiling at You rock, you ballroom, you disco. You are that all-night party my mother warned me about.You are a secret agent, an irresistible tease, a natural beauty, a homespun hero. You prove the cynics wrong, you create traditions whenever you smile, you work hard, you play hard. You are ageless. I love you.
