Bruce Jack Off The Charts Pinotage 2021
Pinotage
Description
Bruce Jack Wines is known for a forward-thinking, globally influenced approach to South African winemaking, with a strong focus on authenticity and site expression. The Off The Charts range celebrates the country’s key grape varieties and regions, with Pinotage taking centre stage as a true Cape original.
This 2021 Pinotage is sourced from the Breedekloof Valley, where mountain ranges and cooling influences from altitude create a slower ripening environment. This allows for fuller flavour development while retaining natural acidity. In the cellar, the approach is deliberate but not heavy-handed - gentle extraction, a period of skin contact, and partial oak maturation (around 20%) provide structure and polish without overwhelming the fruit.
Colour:
Deep ruby with a vibrant purple hue, showing youthful intensity.
Nose:
Ripe black cherry and plum lead, followed by dark chocolate and warm spice. Subtle notes of toasted oak and a hint of earthy richness add depth.
Palate:
Medium- to full-bodied with a plush, fruit-driven core. Flavours of black forest fruit and mulberry are supported by soft, rounded tannins and balanced acidity. The texture is smooth, with a gentle grip that keeps the wine structured without feeling heavy.
Finish:
Lingering and slightly savoury, with notes of dark fruit, cocoa and light spice tapering cleanly.

Bruce Jack Off The Charts Pinotage 2021
- Food Pairing : Bruce Jack Off The Charts Pinotage 2021 is well suited to everyday, flavourful dishes. It pairs particularly well with a classic South African braai — think boerewors or flame-grilled lamb chops - where the wine’s ripe fruit and soft tannins complement the smoky richness. Sticky BBQ ribs or a pulled pork burger also work well, as the slight sweetness of the sauce echoes the wine’s dark fruit profile. For a lighter option, try it with grilled chicken or a mushroom-based dish, where its earthy undertones and balanced acidity keep the pairing in harmony.
