Pop this when you want something sweet, fizzy and ridiculously easy to sip. Bumble Bee is a soft, lightly sparkling Moscato that tastes like ripe peaches and honey with a tickle of bubbles. At just 8%, it's the bottle for a slow Friday on the balcony, a girls' night, or a sweet finish after dinner. Get it properly cold and it goes down like a treat.
Nose first: think an exotic flower garden, honeysuckle and ripe peach with a little whisper of citrus. On the tongue it's peaches and cream, juicy apricot, a squeeze of tangerine and a drizzle of honey. It's properly sweet (around 41 grams of sugar a litre, so this is a sweet wine, not a dry one) but a thread of fresh acidity keeps it from feeling sticky. The gentle fizz lifts everything and the finish stays smooth and clean.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Bruce Jack is an independent, family-run South African winery built around fun, drinkable wines that don't take themselves too seriously. This one comes from the Breedekloof Valley, a cool, high-altitude pocket where the vineyards get morning shade off the mountains, which keeps the fruit fresh and the acidity bright. It's made from 100% Muscat d'Alexandrie, the grape South Africans know as Hanepoot, famous for its floral, honeyed character. And yes, the name is a wink to the bumble bee. Bruce Jack flies the flag for the little pollinators that keep the whole vineyard ecosystem alive.
