About this Item
Niels and Penny Verburg’s agenda to eschew innovation at this Bot River property, after going solo in the early 2000’s after successful wine making at nearby Beaumont, has served them well, establishing Luddite as one of the finest Shiraz producers in South Africa.
Niels recalls the 2005 vintage as one of the coolest of the decade, resulting in "finely balanced, classic Shiraz".
Notes
Due to time constraints set upon us with the COVID-19 Lockdown no original bottle shots were taken.
Critics Ratings
'Always intense, 2005's dark notes in plush upholstery, spice under elegant wraps in youth. 90% French oak, 25% new. Diverse vineyards: Bot river, Stellenbosch, Malmesbury' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2010, 4.5 stars.
'Spice, earth and a hint of savoury development on the nose. Dark fruit, bright acidity, relatively firm tannins. A noble rusticity about it.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za 2012, 17/20
