More information
One of the most contagiously enthusiastic winemakers you’ll ever meet, Bruce Jack studied winemaking at Australia’s famous Roseworthy College. He then perfected his craft at iconic Aussie wineries Grant Burge and Simon Hackett before a spell wowing the French in Bordeaux. He knows the technical side of winemaking inside out and has a real passion that shines through in his wines. His cellar, in a former dynamite factory near the sea, scooped ‘Winery of the Year’ in 2008. Being so close to the ocean there’s a wealth of fresh fish to enjoy, so Bruce invented Lobster Shack as the ideal accompaniment, and the 2018 is a cracker! A rich, zesty blend of Chardonnay and aromatic Viognier, it’s spot on with shellfish, and best of all with lobster.
