The Wine
It’s not every day one of our wine Buyers is asked “Have you seen my ostrich?” But then Bruce Jack is not an everyday sort of winemaker. He always produces a wine that is beautifully made and utterly irresistible to drink – with just the right amount of fruity exuberance and elegant restraint. That’s what you’ll taste in Lost Ostrich, an appetising glassful in which he has combined South Africa’s signature grape Chenin Blanc with the stony, mineral, lemon notes of Sauvignon, the exotic rose petal and lychee flavours of Viognier, and peachy Chardonnay. Maybe it’s his poetic side coming out – he does have two degrees in English as well as one in winemaking! Chill down a bottle and enjoy on its own, or with spicy noodles or vegetable kebabs.
