This white blend is both serious and refreshing. The nose reveals complex aromas of peach, apricot, honeysuckle, and citrus blossom. The palate delivers a rich, textured mouthfeel. Flavours of ripe green plum, lime, and white pear dominate the taste. A refreshing acidity provides excellent balance and drive. The finish is savoury, lengthy, and often displays a touch of saline minerality. The Luddite Saboteur White is highly food-friendly. It pairs well with rich fish, spicy cuisine, and poultry.
