Chief Winemaker Bruce Jack
A Capetonian whose curiosity and palette has taken him the length and breadth of the globe. Bruce completed his undergrad in Political Science and Literature at UCT and then read his Masters in Literature at St Andrew’s in Scotland. His subsequent winemaking degree came from the Roseworthy Campus at the University of Adelaide, Australia. Bruce is a pioneer, and in many respects a maverick, and what he brings to winemaking is an articulate opinion about his greatest passion.

Now at home in Cape Town, Andrew’s passion for wine and writing is married on this blog.
Flagstone Longitude Flies High Posted on August 25 2011 by
It’s been quite a week for Flagstone, apart from the SA Young Wine Show celebrations, we’re proud to announce that our way finder red wine, Longitude, will be served on Lufthansa Airlines within the next 12 months.
We began this tender process in May of 2011, receiving confirmation of our successful proposal this week. Flagstone's Longitude is the often-celebrated entry point to the quirky world of Flagstone, being complex, intriguing and accessible. We’re very proud to have our red blend served on the Lufthansa Aviation Group’s aircraft, taking our wines to more people across the world.
This news is in addition to the previously announced partnership with South Africa Airlines who will be serving Flagstone Dark Horse 2008 and Flagstone Free Run 2010 in the next few months.
We hope the sky’s not the limit.
