2024 Wild Merlot, Tumbleweed

Swartland, South Africa

“The Easy Confidence”

Deep ruby in the glass, this Merlot offers aromas of plum, black cherry, and cocoa, framed by subtle spice. The palate is supple and smooth, with glossy fruit and a savoury snap that keeps it lively. Rounded tannins and a juicy core make it effortlessly drinkable.

For when: you want comfort without compromise.
Pairs with: spaghetti and meatballs, mushroom pizza, or a mid-week victory.
If this wine were shoes, it’d be leather loafers – no socks.

Wild-fermented and gently handled, this Merlot shows the variety’s softer, fresher side. Sourced from select vineyards across the Cape, it’s designed to be generous yet lifted – Merlot without heaviness, alive with energy.

Bruce Jack Wines is made up of a small, dynamic team which aims to celebrate authenticity and provenance, not just in the wine they craft, but in everything they do. Head winemakers Bruce Jack and Marlize Beyers have worked together since 2002, and both have extensive experience in many winemaking regions around the world. Human culture started at the tip of Africa, despite it being ‘off the charts’, so it is fitting that something as culturally rooted as wine should thrive there, inspiring the ‘Off the Charts’ wine range, crafted from grape varieties and regions that are South Africa’s viticultural cornerstones. The labels draw inspiration from the untamed majesty of the wilderness and the symbolic Basotho blanket. The Tumbleweed series of wines captures the essence of the raw, unyielding beauty of this wild region, with vibrant flavours, they showcase the typicity of the grape varietals and the character of the land. In 2023, Bruce Jack featured for the fourth consecutive year in the World’s Most Admired Wine Brands, awarded by Drinks International.

The grapes go directly to red wine fermenters with 4 – 6 pump overs for the first 3 -4 days. After that , there are only 2 pump overs until the wine is fermented to dryness. The wine is then racked off skins, and no press juice added, kept in full tanks until malolactic fermentation is completed, after which wine is racked and sulphured. A portion of the wine is aged on French staves for 4 – 6 months.
