Luddite Wine
Some people describe Luddite Shiraz as
Niels Verburg contained in a glass; Niels
is six foot four and when he smiles
appears to be beaming an embrace in
your direction. As a young winemaker
traveling the world Niels confirmed his
love for Shiraz when working a harvest in
Australia but it was a winery in Chile that
inspired his wine-making method, ‘It was
as if I’d gone back 20 years, it was
ramshackle, chaotic but they had great
fruit and passion and I'd never seen that
quality of wine.'
'The nitty gritty of good winemaking is to
have good grapes, good yeast and good
barrels,' says Niels, ‘Being hi- tech and
cutting edge isn't important to me. When
you go into a winery and see the
centrifuges and reverse osmosis, it’s like
going into the kitchen of a top restaurant
and seeing a microwave, you think “Hey,
that’s not right”.’ The first vintage of
Luddite Shiraz was released in 2000.
'There’s been an improvement every
year,' says Niels. 'The ultimate goal
would be a perfect wine but of course
that doesn’t exist.Ä |
