ABOUT THIS WINE

“Saboteur” White comes from the cool, maritime-influenced Bot River area of the Western Cape, where vineyards benefit from the combination of warm sunshine and strong coastal breezes. The wine is built around Rhône varieties and reflects Luddite's preference for expressive, naturally textured wines. Fermentation and maturation in oak add depth and richness while preserving freshness, resulting in a white that is both powerful and balanced. The 2023 vintage showcases the combination of ripe fruit, savory complexity, and lively acidity characteristic of the wine.
