Bruce Jack Reserve Clean Slate SV Shiraz 2018
Bruce Jack is known for an intuitive, vineyard-first approach to winemaking, combining global experience with a strong belief in honest expression and minimal interference. The Reserve Clean Slate wines are drawn from carefully selected sites and made in small quantities, with the aim of letting vineyard character lead rather than cellar technique.
This single-vineyard Shiraz comes from the Breedekloof, a region valued for its combination of warm days, cool nights and well-drained soils, which help Shiraz ripen fully while retaining freshness. The winemaking approach is measured and confident, using oak maturation to support structure and complexity without masking the natural fruit profile. The result is a Shiraz that feels composed and expressive, showing depth without excess weight.
Colour: Deep ruby with garnet edges, showing maturity while still holding brightness.
Nose: Dark plum and blackberry aromas lead, followed by black pepper, dried herbs and hints of cocoa and cedar spice. Subtle savoury notes add depth rather than sweetness.
Palate: Medium to full bodied with concentrated dark fruit at the core. Flavours of ripe plum, black cherry and spice unfold alongside savoury undertones and fine-grained tannins. The texture is smooth and controlled, supported by balanced acidity that keeps the wine focused and drinkable.
Finish: Long and composed, with lingering dark fruit, gentle spice and a dry, savoury close.
- Food Pairing : Bruce Jack Reserve Clean Slate SV Shiraz 2018 works best with richly flavoured, savoury dishes. Slow-roasted lamb shoulder, beef short ribs or venison stew complement the wine’s depth and spice while allowing the tannins to soften alongside the food. For a simpler pairing, grilled steak with rosemary or charred aubergine with smoky spices highlights the wine’s savoury edge and balanced structure without overpowering its fruit.
