Bruce Jack Heritage Collection Home Truth Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
Tasting Note
This Cab mostly hails from a single vineyard (92%), planted in 1997 on Francis Pratt’s farm alongside Elim at the cool, windswept southern tip of Africa. The vineyard was grubbed
up in 2013 only a few weeks after it offered up its final harvest.
Why you might ask?…
Unfortunately, as with many vineyards it was uncommercial. It was tortured by the birds, the hail, the frost, the incessant, blustery winds… and perhaps like the vinous equivalent of Van Gough, it was capable of magic as a result.
Food pairing
To elevate this hugely complex, savory wine, head into dry aged meat territory – cooked at intense heat on open flame. Bone-in, grass-fed sirloin steak cooked medium rare and
served with a mint and green chili sauce.

Full bodied, robust and well balanced with blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, tobacco, leather, hints of red fruit and oak flavours. Excellent!
"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "
- Terry Wharton Hood -
Great wine at a great time, everytime
