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.

Critics Ratings
‘Inky ruby 2012 is bold & has presence. Dark plums, mulberries mingle with vanilla oak on a firm broad-shouldered frame, providing a mouthful of textured bliss. Big 15.5% alcohol well hidden under focused fruit. Perfect for rare rump steak. Walker Bay WO. Various bottle formats.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4.5*
‘Luddite is deliberately made in a big, pruney, late-picked style and certainly has its fans. Released with some bottle age, it’s a dense, chewy, figgy wine with evident oak and an undertow of tannin. A wine that’s true to its guiding philosophy. Drink 2016-19.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 90/100
