Bruce Jack Wines honours a noble variety, welcomes a new team member, and shares the latest news.

Celebrate Pinot Noir Day

Raise a glass with us at Bruce Jack Wines this week as we honour a noble variety, the soul of sophistication, Pinot Noir. We are delighted to showcase two distinctive expressions, There are Still Mysteries and Heartbreak Grape Pinot Noir, both crafted from grapes sourced from specially selected vineyard sites in and around the Cape South Coast.

These exceptional wines reflect the essence of the deep, cold south – where fierce storms batter the rocky coast, imparting unique character and depth. Perfectly suited to the heart of winter, they are ideal companions for fireside gatherings and hearty cuisine.

Meet the team: Rupert Kieser

Rupert has joined our team in the last few months as a sales consultant and manager of the Jack in the Box Wine Club, with a keen focus on The Drift Estate wines.

He fell into wine out of passion and sharpened his knowledge and skills working in various tasting rooms throughout the Cape Winelands, from Constantia to Stellenbosch. He has been privileged to taste wine from around the world through his travels and from his father's vast wine collection. His first formal wine education was casually dropping into a WSET level 3 and achieving Merit in the process. He has a keen eye for innovative wine, pairing and hospitality.

He also has a deep passion and understanding of conservation, providing unique safari experiences while bringing his experience with wine and hospitality to make these truly special.

You can contact him at rupert@brucejack.com for any wine club questions or order queries.

Wine of the week: Bruce Jack Reserve Viognier

We are thrilled that our Bruce Jack Reserve Viognier recently received a gold medal (95 Points) at the Fine Wine Awards 2025. The wine offers aromas of peach blossom, ripe stone-fruit and citrus flavours with a touch of vanilla from judicious barrel fermentation.
