CINSAULT

 If there was a breakfast red, this would be it. Bacon, bagels and scrambled eggs

Give it a ‘lil chill

Alice Verburg, the middle child to Niels and Penny (who we know from the Saboteur White & Red) works with dad in the cellar at Luddite, adding a bit of fun & femininity to their wines. The culinary school grad, who has a couple of international harvests under her belt already, makes only a barrel or two of her own wine every year that typically sells out at the speed of light – before she can even set any aside for herself!

Ali picked the Cinsault (the first batch to be made in the Luddite cellar!) earlier than expected due to unpredictable weather; so she pressed the juice for 1 barrel (of the 2 produced) on Shiraz skins to add body & colour! That Verburg creativity at play!
