We racked and blended the 4 cultivars, always having food and drinkability in mind. The 2024 blend is 73% Chenin Blanc, 15% Blanc Fumé, 10% Viognier and 2% Semillon. We hope that we have continued to achieve our goal which is to have a serious, well-structured yet refreshingly fruity white wine. Easy to drink on the terrace and just as much fun with a serious meal.

Saboteur White is a stylish, comparatively recent addition to the Luddite range, made from a well-judged assemblage of Chenin Blanc, 13% Sauvignon Blanc, 12% Viognier and 2% Semillon. Refreshingly medium bodied, it has some subtle tannic grip from partial skin fermentation, layers of baking spices, tangerine, quince and lemon zest and a hint of new wood. 2025-29. Tim Atkin 92
