With its picturesque location, range of commended wines and other products, La Motte is a prominent name in the Franschhoek valley. The winery makes use of grapes from the valley as well as other regions, including their organic farm in Walker Bay. Their wines always perform at wine shows and exhibit a classic elegance that bucks the over-ripe wine trend so popular today.
This Chardonnay is a great example of their style and quality. The wine spends a year in oak but still retains a fresh, crisp character that makes it incredibly drinkable.
Brendon’s thoughts:
If they had gym for wines, Chardonnay would need the biggest workout. This one isn’t hefty at all though, with clean, bright flavours and great balance.
Jean’s thoughts:
Already a big seller at Caveau, it is fresh, crispy, fruity and all grown in Franschhoek. Pretty impressive, and a perfect wine for the summer
Price at Caveau: R125 per bottle / R32 per glass
