It’s not often that three of Bot River’s top producers are all here at once, but we have secured them on Tuesday 18 May.  Join us for a special evening of tasting where Luddite; Genevieve and Thorne and Daughters will be sharing their unique stories and telling us more about their wines.

We will start off with Genevieve MCC which was inspired by their creator Melissa’s passion for good quality Méthode Cap Classique. She has pursued her passion into the winemaking industry to develop the beautiful Blanc de Blancs MCC we know today.

This will then be followed by Thorne and Daughters, whose approach to wine making is simple, honest and gentle. John and Tasha Seccombe have drawn on the great history of wine growing here in the Cape and internationally, putting together old vineyard parcels with new grape cultivars, and making wines with old-school simplicity and a modern ‘edge’.

And then Luddite will follow.  Since they started in 1999 with the sole aim of making world class Shiraz, 8.5ha of vineyards and 480 olive trees have been planted.  Every effort is made, as the name states, to make wines with minimal interference and maximum integrity.  The Luddite Shiraz has since been joined by a Chenin Blanc and the very successful Saboteur White & Red Blends.
