NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The La Motte Wine Estate Syrah is a bold and intense red wine from the Franschhoek Valley in South Africa, renowned for producing the finest Rhône-style wines in the country.On the nose, this Syrah has aromas of ripe plums, wild berries, and sweet spices like white pepper and nutmeg. On the palate, it has a full-bodied structure with notes of dark fruits, liquorice, and sweet baking spices, all supported by a firm tannic backbone. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of smoked meats and a touch of minerality. Enjoy this powerful, yet elegant Syrah with grilled steak, game meats, and robust pastas.
