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
The Luddite Shiraz 2020 presents a dark red color with purple hues. The nose offers an intriguing mix of allspice, Turkish delight, and dark fruit aromas. On the palate, this wine is known for its juicy fruit entry, with flavors of dark fruits such as plums and blackberries at its core. The mid-palate shows characteristic richness and a slight plumpness, balanced by fine tannins. The finish is long, dry, and carries a subtle saline note, which adds complexity.
Food Pairing
The 2020 Luddite Shiraz pairs well with rich, flavorful dishes such as grilled meats, lamb stews, and mature cheeses. Its robust profile and fine tannins make it an excellent companion for hearty, savory meals.
