Product Notes

A masterful mix of Shiraz, Mourvèdre and Viognier yield a beautifully balanced composition. It charms with its rich, dark hues, offering a robust bouquet of dark chocolate, ripe black cherries, and spice. Punctuated notes of plum and blackberry on the palate enhance its open, generous structure, whilst the finish, long and satisfying, touts smooth and supple tannins. Savour this resplendent red blend with hearty British fare for a divine gastronomical experience. Ideal for cosy evenings, Luddite The Saboteur embodies sophistication and elegance.

Tasting Notes

Dark red and full colour to the edge. All spice and brooding dark fruit. Rich cassis, cinnamon and cloves towards the finish. Dark juicy fruit on entry. Broad spicy cherries and dark fruit with a decadent mid palate, full bodied with hints of ripe strawberries. The finish is dry, rich and full.
