About this Item

Shiraz, 2015
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

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.

Critics Ratings

'Only 2.3 t/ha yield, 4 weeks on skins, 24 months mainly French barrels, 30% new, and 2015 is a powerhouse of perfume and flavour: black cherries, scrub, white pepper notes, salty liquorice. Richly textured, handsome, as 2014 (5 stars, 95 pts), but muscles more toned. Various bottle formats.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (94 pts)
