Although the autumn leaves entertained everyone with their beautiful colours, the La Motte garden team is relieved that they are done for the year and had a proper celebration when the winter rain arrived. And while it seems a little cruel for La Motte’s beautiful oak trees to face winter without their foliage, their stark and bare branches create a romantic ambience against the historic Cape Dutch buildings. What a beautiful picture! Now add warming wines, delightful winter menus and special offers – plenty of reason to take a winter winelands drive!

Simmer with Sauvignon
While a trusted choice in sunny weather and for those who appreciate a refreshing aperitif, the 2024 La Motte Sauvignon Blanc also charms with wintery salads and warming seafood recipes.
What to expect: Nuances of dried grass add depth to the aromas of gooseberry and lime, while the palate is supple and smooth despite the freshness of the acidity.
Try it with a generous portion of pan-fried squid with lemon and smoked paprika.
Father’s Day perfected
With exceptional maturation potential the 2021 La Motte Cabernet Sauvignon is a treasured gift for dads with cellars while its flavourful intensity makes it a natural partner to red meat and perfect for dads who like to braai!
What to expect: Intense berry and plum, clove spice and mint as well as cigar box and oak-derived toffee. Ample tannins and a full palate with an opulent consistency and a persistent finish.
