La Motte Méthode Cap Classique 2007The wine shows a typical champagne colour, with a very fine, lively mousse. The nose has golden delicious apple fruit complemented by yeasty dough and biscuit aromas. The palate is as lively, with a creamy balanced finish. |
|
La Motte Sauvignon Blanc 2010Apple followed by gooseberry and green pepper fragrances. Dry but well rounded with a lingering, fresh finish. |
|
La Motte Chardonnay 2008Pineapple and grapefruit with a hint of dried peaches in the background. Wood maturation appears in the form of straw and toffee. Medium to light in style, but complex, with layers of fruit and yeast. |
|

La Motte Cabernet Sauvignon 2007Cinnamon spice, violets, truffle and dark chocolate followed by ripe cherries and savoury caper berries that melt away into a velvety, gentle finish on the back palate. |
|
La Motte Millennium 2007Pleasant cherry, roasted nut and dark chocolate. Cooked beetroot with clove and cinnamon spices in the background mixed with pomegranate flavours. |
|
La Motte Pierneef Sauvignon Blanc 2009A rich complexity of tropical fruit flavours of passion fruit, melon, apples and litchi. Hints of fynbos, lime and gooseberry flavours, complemented by a firm structure and refreshing acidity. |
|
La Motte Pierneef Shiraz Viognier 2007Intense red berry fruit with slight caramel nuances extracted from French oak well integrated with dried peach flavours. An ample-bodied palate with spicy undertones and lots of dimension. (2007 AVAILABLE IN 1.5ltr) |
|
La Motte Pierneef Shiraz Grenache 2007This new wine from La Motte reveals black berry fruit integrated with liquorice spice and roasted red pepper on the nose. The palate impresses with a full body, covered with aniseed and cumin spice. A very rewarding combination of varieties and a true South African example of this well-known combination. |
|
La Motte Hanneli R 2005The combination of a good vintage and maturation in new wood has produced a wine with exceptional depth, complexity and personality. The first impression is that of floral perfume and pot-pourri, combined with the flavours of sweet stewed prunes and liquorice, backed by caramel wood flavours. The tannins of the wood and grapes are combined, to form a highly structured, surprisingly soft palate. The wine leaves a minty freshness on the palate. |
