A gorgeous, full-bodied, juicy and extremely drinkable wine from La Motte. Made exclusively with grapes sourced from the estate’s own Franschhoek vineyards (the first vintage to do so since 2000), the blend of 85% Syrah topped-up with Durif to add colour and structure, is fruit-driven with typical spicy pepper and oak flavours. Great with food and drinking well now.
