Luddite Saboteur White 2023 is produced from a blend of 77% Chenin Blanc, 13% Blanc Fumé and 10% Viognier. Grapes were sourced from four vineyard sites: Bot River, Barton Chenin Blanc harvested 9 February 2023; Bot River, Gabriëlskloof Viognier harvested 9 February 2023; and Standford, Standford Hills Chenin Blanc harvested 15 February 2023. Skin contact was continued on the Chenin Blanc and Viognier to give some tannin, texture and structure to the wine. Both varietals spent 12 days on skins with morning and evening punch-downs, then pressed, taking as much lees and sediment to barrel to complete the fermentation. A small portion of tank fermentation was undertaken for the Chenin Blanc for extra primary fruit. The Sauvignon Blanc was whole-bunch pressed and pumped directly to barrel without settling to ferment. The wine was then racked and blended. 20,300 bottles were produced. Residual sugar: 1.6g/l. Bottled at 12.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Pronounced nose with floral sweet fruit, honey, peach and almonds.

Palate: Rich mouthfeel with subtle tannins and pithiness from skin contact.

Finish: White peach, honey blossoms with a salty and herbaceous finish.
