Product Notes

Luddite The Saboteur Red Blend is a spectacular South African wine created by the renowned Niels Verburg. A seductive blend of Shiraz, Mourvèdre, and Viognier grapes, this wine encapsulates sensuality with its deep crimson hue and opulent flavours. The bouquet reveals ripe blackberries, violet nuances and a breath of spice, offering a sensual treat to the olfactory senses. On the palate, it's robust and velvety, with plush hints of red berry and cocoa, accentuated by a balanced undercurrent of delicate tannins. Cellared correctly, this bold, yet sophisticated wine promises to mature beautifully. Truly, a majestic salute to old-world winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Dark red and full colour to the edge. All spice and brooding dark fruit. Rich cassis, cinnamon and cloves towards the finish. Dark juicy fruit on entry. Broad spicy cherries and dark fruit with a decadent mid palate, full bodied with hints of ripe strawberries. The finish is dry, rich and full.
