2025 marks a pivotal moment for South African winemaking as we celebrate the centenary of Pinotage, the country’s signature red varietal. A wine born of innovation, Pinotage has flourished over the past 100 years, becoming a globally renowned grape that embodies boldness and South African heritage.
This milestone year has been particularly significant for Bruce Jack Wines, with two prestigious accolades adding to their growing list of achievements. Bruce Jack himself has been honoured with the Master Winemaker 100 Award, an acknowledgment of his unwavering commitment to quality and innovative winemaking. Presented by the respected Drinks Business magazine, this award marks the second time in three years Bruce has been recognised in this way.
The wine that captured the attention of the Masters of Wine judges, who selected it through a blind-tasting panel, was none other than the Bruce Jack Heritage Flag of Truce Pinotage 2022.
Bruce Jack reflects: “This is a truly special moment, not just for us at Bruce Jack Wines, but for the legacy of Pinotage itself. Winning these accolades in the centenary year of the varietal is a humbling reminder of why we do what we do. Pinotage is a grape with a rich history and an even brighter future, and we’re proud to play our part in its journey.”
Beyond the Flag of Truce, Bruce Jack’s entire Pinotage portfolio speaks to the varietal’s remarkable versatility. From the dark fruit and spice-laden Bruce Jack Reserve Pinotage to the vibrant Bruce Jack Lifestyle Pinotage & Malbec, and the approachable Bruce Jack Lifestyle Daily Brew, each bottle showcases the essence of terroir, craftsmanship, and winemaking philosophy.
Adding to an already stellar year, Bruce Jack Wines has once again earned a place among the Drinks International Top 50 Most Admired Wine Brands in the World, a reflection of the brand’s global appeal and commitment to excellence.
As Pinotage enters its second century, Bruce Jack Wines stands proudly at the forefront of its evolution, blending tradition with innovation to honour a grape that’s embedded in the soul of South African winemaking.
