BRUCE JACK FAIRTRADE
SHIRAZ
Selected vineyards are harvested early in the morning when still cool. Grapes are destemmed and fermented on the skins in a combination of open and closed tanks. Selected vineyards are punched down by hand and wild fermentation is encouraged. Open and closed pump overs are given to carefully extract colour and build a soft, juicy mouthfeel. The fermented wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and barrels. When ready the wine is painstakingly blended to create both complexity and yumminess.
Bruce Jack Fairtrade Shiraz supports the Merwida Farm Village. Merwida’s farms are actively working together with social upliftment to enhance the living conditions and livelihoods of their workers and the communities.

Nothing shouts ‘Bring me shiraz’ like a 28 day dry-aged rump steak, cooked to perfection on the barbeque and served with a green pepper sauce or try pulled pork Mexican tortillas. A surprisingly good match is also Peking duck.
