La Motte Collection
2023 La Motte Chardonnay
R 180.00
This Chardonnay white wine is excellent with caviar, snails, carpaccio paté, crayfish (Cape rock lobster), prawns, mussels, perlemoen (abalone) and creamy cheese.
Grapes for this white wine originate from La Motte in Franschhoek. The vineyard lies 200 metres above sea level, against a southern and southwestern slope.
2021 La Motte Syrah
R 210.00
La Motte Syrah red wine is a true expression of its Franschhoek terroir where micro-climates from the mountain slopes and valley floors add complexity to the wine’s elegant character. Syrah wine from Franschhoek contains a natural fruitiness that includes red berries and mulberry, while a small percentage Durif provides colour, plum fruit and texture.
The full-bodied character of this wine harmonises perfectly with rich, flavourful dishes, grilled foods (including grilled vegetables), game dishes (particularly those incorporating stewed fruit and sweet aromatic spice component), peppercorn- crusted steaks and barbecued meat in a sticky, sweet sauce. The wine's abundant fruit also latches on to the sweetness in jellies, chutneys and berry sauces.
2024 La Motte Reserve Cap Classique
R 430.00
La Motte Reserve Cap Classique is a versatile partner to South African cuisine. It pairs beautifully with local cheeses—especially soft varieties—and complements luxurious dishes such as oysters and crayfish. It is equally at home with eggs in all forms, delicate line fish (with or without sauce), and savoury pastries like mushroom quiche. Fresh salads, carpaccio, and lighter meats including poultry, veal, and pork also make excellent companions.
