mehrere Informationen

Luddite Saboteur is a garnet red wine with purple edges. It smells of red and dark fruit, fynbos and shrubs, spice mixtures and a hint of toasted. It enters the palate with a juicy dark fruitiness and then spreads with notes of spiced cherries, which bring a freshness to the middle palate with a soft, well balanced tannin framework and a great mouthfeel, it ends wonderfully dry on the finish. This vintage now also appears in an award-winning, modern bottle design. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre and Cabernet Franc grapes were fermented individually in open fermenters and the mash was regularly crushed by hand. The Shiraz grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks. Some underwent malolactic fermentation in barrels in order to obtain a fuller mouthfeel and greater structure in the wine. Afterwards all 4 grape varieties matured for 12 months in French oak, using 50% new wood.
