It's the month of love and Bruce Jack Wines invites you to discover the story behind one of the world's most captivating wines, Pinot Noir.

Known as the "Heartbreak Grape" for its delicate nature and the challenges of cultivation, Pinot Noir has long been celebrated for its complexity, elegance, and ability to inspire deep connection.

Bruce Jack Wines' Heartbreak Grape Pinot Noir is crafted in the cool, storm-swept vineyards of the Cape South Coast, where the land mirrors the grape’s spirit of resilience and beauty. Offering fragrant floral notes, joyful bursts of strawberry, raspberry, and sour cherry, and a lingering finish of sweet spices and juniper bitters, this wine captures the poetic essence of life’s most delicate moments.

"Pinot Noir is a varietal that tells a story. It’s about the journey, the challenges, and the rewards of perseverance," says Bruce Jack. "With the Heartbreak Grape Pinot Noir, we aim to reflect this narrative in every bottle."
