Ex Animo® Luddite Saboteur Red 2021 – 8290632106281

Luddite Saboteur Red 2021 is produced from a blend of 60% Shiraz, 15% Grenache, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Grenache. Grapes were sourced from six vineyard sites. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache Noir and Mourvèdre were all fermented in small batches in open bins. Fewer stalks were used than previous years due to the lighter vintage. Most of the Shiraz was fermented in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs. All the components were pressed directly into barrel and aged separately. Some of the batches did malolactic fermentation in barrel which gives a fuller mouth feel and structure. This vintage was in barrel for 12 months with 20% new French oak. A small portion of the Grenache Noir is from the 2022 vintage which lifts the freshness and red fruit spectrum of this wine. 23,800 bottles of this vintage were produced (12 800 cork, 11 000 crown cap and 1 030 magnums). Bottled at 14% and sealed with a crown cap. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Bright red and cherry fruit with allspice.

Palate: Juicy red fruit on entry. Vibrant fruit on mid-palate.

Finish: Medium structured with a long elegant refreshing finish.
