Bruce Jack Heritage Heartbreak Grape Pinot Noir 2019

This Pinot Noir is exceptionally clean and pure, with a fragrant, floral nose. The palate delights with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and sour cherry, complemented by juniper bitters and a touch of sweet spices from start to finish. Truly enjoyable!

Pair with slow-braised wild rabbit rack on a bed of shredded fried parsnips and roasted pine nuts.

Pinot Noir sidles up halfway through the bottle, revealing a hint of heaven and then leaving you heartbroken. This starts the obsession. Some of us fall so hard we go beyond acquiring bottles, we plant the mercurial grape, usually in land that talks to our heart, not our head.

This wine is from the deep, cold south, where storms smash frigid waves into the rocky coast and where winemakers dream of finding meaning in their lives and loves. It is ethereal and nuanced and perfectly poised to make you smile that knowing smile.
in the cellar : Sourced from select vineyard sites in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley (69.5%), Elim (30%), and Overberg (0.5%), the grapes are harvested at optimal phenological ripeness and processed at The Drift Estate. After a cold soak at below 12°C for 5 days with daily pump overs under CO2, natural fermentation occurs over 3 days with 3-4 gentle punch downs daily. Following post-fermentation maceration, the wine is pressed using a traditional basket press and lightly racked to barrels after 24 hours of settling. The wine undergoes three rackings before a coarse sheet filtration prior to bottling.
