Bruce Jack Clean Slate Shiraz

Allow me to introduce the captivating Bruce Jack Clean Slate Shiraz, a wine that tells a story of tenacity and the unyielding spirit of winemaking on the windswept slopes of our mountain vineyards.

Shiraz vines on these precarious slopes seem to reach for the sky, their roots deeply anchored in the rocky embrace of our farm’s bedrock. These vines are a testament to the determination and dedication required to harness the full potential of this noble grape.

For eight long and nerve-racking years, our vineyard team lovingly tended to these vines, carefully guiding them through the challenges of the terrain and climate. This period of patient vine husbandry is etched into our memories and recorded in the annals of historical weather data, a testament to the commitment it takes to craft a wine of this caliber.

The culmination of this relentless effort arrived with the arrival of an intense, albeit small, crop into our winery. These grapes bore the essence of mother nature’s humbling power and magnificence, a reflection of the unique terroir in which they flourished.

Further enhancing this wine’s complexity and depth, it spent two winters resting in barrels. This patient aging process rewarded us with a wine that encapsulates the very soul of our vineyards, expressing the synergy between nature and winemaking craft.

For those who appreciate the art of aging, we recommend cellaring this Clean Slate Shiraz respectfully. It has the potential to gracefully evolve for at least two decades after harvest, a promise of ever-increasing complexity and nuance.

In closing, the Bruce Jack Clean Slate Shiraz is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of our vineyards, the dedication of our vineyard team, and the power of time in crafting a wine that embodies the essence of its origin. Enjoy this wine as a journey through the history and terroir of our winery, and savor the ever-unfolding story it has to tell.
