With a beautiful fruit character, typical of a Syrah from Franschhoek, the La Motte Franschhoek Syrah makes the hearts of red wine lovers beat faster from the first moment. Above all, aromas of mulberries and a hint of plum are present. In addition to the fruity nuances, notes of black pepper and oak characterise the taste of the red wine, which was refined with a small amount of Petite Sirah (15%) and matured for fourteen months in French oak. Thanks to its creamy texture, the La Motte Franschhoek Syrah is a real treat on its own, but it is also the ideal complement to aromatic dishes, grilled meat or vegetables, and game.

Today, the estate belongs to Dr Rupert’s daughter, Hanneli Rupert-Koegelenberg and together with her husband and CEO of the estate, Hein Koegelenberg, they have turned La Motte into an internationally respected wine producer and popular wine tourism destination.
