Bot River (Only from fruit grown at Luddite Farm)
100% Shiraz
Special attention was paid to the temperature of the grapes during fermentation, a slow steady ferment ensures bigger fruit expression and more time on skins helps intensifying the structure.
“Matured for 24 months in barrel, 15% new. Classic aromas of black berries, lavender, fynbos, olive, pepper, and spice. The palate is succulent and sappy, where pure fruit meets vibrant acidity and crunchy tannins. Beautifully balanced and finely detailed – while Luddite Shiraz is often bold and burly, this vintage is expertly judged, whilst not becoming too delicate or restrained. 96/100″
