The Luddite Saboteur Red is a celebrated, Shiraz-dominant New World blend from the acclaimed Bot River region. Winemaker Niels Verburg crafts this wine with a bold, yet balanced, “Saboteur” style. This unashamedly new world red blend showcases crunchy, juicy fruit. It contrasts nicely with the estate’s classic Luddite Shiraz.
Experience enticing aromas of cranberry, raspberry, and plums. Notes of allspice, herbs, and cured meat add layers of complexity. The palate delivers dark, juicy fruit on entry, with a spicy mid-palate and a long, dry, refreshing finish. Luddite Saboteur Red shows a medium to full body, with refined but “chewy” tannins. It is perfect for those seeking a robust, character-driven wine.
Top critics consistently praise this wine. Christian Eedes (Winemag.co.za) scored recent vintages 93/100 and 94/100 Points. Tim Atkin MW also rates this impressive blend highly, giving it 91 Points. This wine pairs beautifully with spiced grilled meats or hearty stews. The Saboteur is a rebellious, handcrafted expression of the Bot River terroir.
