‘Sold under a crown cap - part of the low-tech, unfussy appeal of the Luddite brand - Saboteur is a Bot River cuvée of Syrah, 15% Grenache, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Mourvèdre. Curated in 20% new wood, it has layers of thyme, rose petal and bouquet garni, savoury tannins and bright plum and red berry flavours. 2025-29’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 91/100
‘The 2021 Luddite Saboteur Red shows density and superb freshness, and we’re serving it slightly chilled this summer. The 2021 is bursting with red fruit along with notes of graphite and cassis. The chewy tannins and wonderful length make this a rewarding wine from the Verburgs. They’re always the life of the party, and this red is just as charming ’ – Lauren Segers, February 2024

| Producer information | In 1999 Niels and Penny Verburg established their own wine farm on the slopes of the Houw Hoek Mountains in Bot River. They named their farm Luddite, meaning ‘someone who is resistant to new technology or new ways of working’. This definition captures their winemaking philosophy perfectly as Niels is constantly striving to create perfect wines despite the challenging conditions thrown his way. Niels and his team at Luddite are incredibly passionate about their Shiraz and are never willing to compromise on quality. This dedication translates into consciously-farmed grapes and small-batch wines that have amazing character. |
