Luddite
Some people describe Luddite Shiraz as Niels Verburg contained in a glass; Niels is six foot four and when he smiles appears to be beaming an embrace in your direction. As a young winemaker traveling the world Niels confirmed his love for Shiraz when working a harvest in Australia but it was a winery in Chile that inspired his wine-making method ‘It was as if I’d gone back 20 years it was ramshackle chaotic but they had great fruit and passion and I’d never seen that quality of wine.’
Description
Incredibly dark plummy in colour with purple tones towards the edges. Floral, sweet fruit, cinnamon, a touch of vanilla and a hint of fynbos. Bold juicy fruit on entry with fresh tannin grip on mid-pallet followed by dark, spicy fruit. The finish is long and invitingly decadent.
Food Pairing
Spiced grillades, Bistecca fiorentina, TBone steak, Wild specialities
