Tasting Note

Appearance: Rich, golden straw hue. Nose: Spicy, greengage, savoury and nutty. After a while nose opens up to give hints of white fruit; pears and peaches. Palate: Grippy textured entry. Amazing palate weight and mouth feel for the low alcohol. Finishes with white fruit, spice and a salty minerality.

Product Notes

Luddite Chenin Blanc is a delightful South African wine that boasts of a complex balance of citrusy, herbal, and mineral notes. Its aromas of lemon zest, green apple, dried herbs, and flint are perfectly complemented by its crisp acidity and a well-structured body. This wine is made by a family-run winery in Bot River, South Africa, using traditional and sustainable winemaking practices. The name Luddite was inspired by the early 19th century English textile workers who protested against the industrial revolution and the machines that replaced them. This wine is a tribute to the laborers who cherished the power of human hands and artisanal craftsmanship.

About the Winery

Luddite

For a wine company to become successful and well-reputed in its country, it should have passionate winemakers as founders. That’s exactly why Luddite is one of the well-loved South African wine company today. It was founded in the 1990s by Niels and Penny Verburg. Both of them were friends even before they attended college together. After they finished college, they moved to Europe, which was when Niels travelled to different countries and picked up the tricks of the trade.
