Luddite Saboteur White 2022 is produced from a blend of 71% Chenin Blanc, 15% Viognier and 14% Blanc Fumé. Grapes were sourced from three vineyard sites: Bot River, Barton Chenin Blanc harvested 17th February 2022; Bot River, Gabriëlskloof Viognier harvested 23rd February 2022; and Elgin, Elgin Ridge Sauvignon Blanc harvested 24th February 2022. Skin contact time was continued for the Chenin Blanc and Viognier to give some tannin, texture and structure to the wine. Both varietals spent 10 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 pressed directly to barrel without settling to ferment. All the components spent 7 months in old French oak barrels with regular batonnage. The wine was then racked and blended. 10,500 bottles were produced. Residual sugar: 1.6g/l. Bottled at 12.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Orange blossom, almond and peach.

Palate: Stone fruits on entry. A rich mouthfeel.

Finish: A salty, citrus finish.
