Bruce Jack Heritage Boer maak 'n Plan Chenin Blanc

24 year-old vines, barrel fermentation and maturation produce distinctive notes of yellow apple alongside green melon and lime on the nose. This wine is beautifully structured on the palate, bursting with fresh yellow and white fruit flavours and a subtle yet distinctive finish.

Ideal for oysters, shrimp, or crab. Great with spicy Thai or Indian dishes. Complements lean fish like cod or haddock. Pairs beautifully with Camembert and young Brie.

ageing : Can be enjoyed now or cellar at a cool temperature.

The Afrikaans word “Boer” is a noun, a verb, and an adjective. It is a term of respect and an antagonistic rallying cry. It is electric with
identity, symbolising collective self-determination and is used both positively and with contempt. I have met parochial farmers the world over – comes with the territory. But I have also worked with salt-of-the-earth farmers – generous, wise, humble, practical – many living in harmony with nature. The best survive at the whim of the weather, making do with very little. This is what the phrase “Boer maak ‘n plan” means.
in the cellar : Hand picked in the early morning. The grapes were sorted, de-stemmed and crushed. Cold soaking and slow fermentation took place at 13-15 °C to enhance flavours and colour. Fermented in 3rd & 4th fill barrels for about three weeks with commercial as well as wild yeast. The wine was left on the thick lees for 6 months & matured in barrel for 8 months.
