Luddite Saboteur White Crown Cap 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Cape South Coast
R200
‘The nose is complex with lots of yeasty complexity initially but later opening to reveal honeysuckle, naartjie, peach, apricot, nectarine and melon. The palate is rich and dense but equally doesn’t lack freshness thanks to punchy acidity, the finish deeply savoury.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100
'Made with ten days of skin contact, this is a low-intervention assemblage of Chenin Blanc, 13% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Viognier from Bot River and Elgin. Wet stone, oolong tea and rose petal aromas are a scented introduction to a palate of greengage, pear and waxed lemon. 2024-28' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 91/100

| 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. |
