La Motte Wines

  • La Motte Pierneef Shiraz Viognier
    This wine was inspired by the Côte Rôtie style in the northern Rhône area. It is a unique blend of white and red wine, with the flamboyant flavour of the Viognier offering a lively complement to the spiciness of the Shiraz
  • La Motte Pierneef Sauvignon Blanc (Organically Grown)
    Grapes for this wine are produced on La Motte’s Nabot organic farm in the Walker Bay coastal region. It is a fuller wine, unwooded and a perfect expression of its terroir.
  • La Motte Shiraz
    Grapes have been carefully selected from specific vineyards in different regions to capture this flagship’s desired spicy, berry and violet flavours. The wine has a firm structure promising a good maturation potential.
  • La Motte Cabernet Sauvignon
    An elegant, typically South African-style Cabernet, made to reflect varietal characteristics. Grapes have been hand-sorted to ensure that only ripe tannins end in the bottle.
  • La Motte Millennium
    A trusted Bordeaux-style blend made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Its typical claret character shows classic cherry, tobacco, clove and chocolate flavours.
  • La Motte Sauvignon Blanc
    Grapes from different vineyards are combined to produce this very popular wine, with its tropical as well as green flavours. This unwooded aperitif-style wine is produced reductively to protect the varietal flavours
  • La Motte Chardonnay
    This wine is made from whole-bunch pressed grapes produced exclusively on La Motte and fermented in 500-litre French and Hungarian barrels. The wine has a fruity style with subtle wood

Leopard's Leap Wines

  • Family Collection Shiraz Mourvedre Viognier
    This elegant, well-structured blend is a typical example of the french style. The nose is dominated by red berry flavours with spicy undertones. The interesting blend of cultivars result in a combination of elegance and fruit.
  • Family Collection Sauvignon Blanc
    to be added
  • Merlot
    Here due to popular demand! It's deep in colour with predominant dark fruit flavours. The palate is rich with notes of chocolate and a cedar wood finish.
  • Chardonnay/Viognier
    This refined blend is produced to be an elegant, medium bodied wine with an abundance of tropical fruit, with the added complexity of the slightly wooded Viognier component. It is further enhanced by the tones of apricot and melon from the Viognier.
  • Shiraz
    While the Shiraz vine is known as a shy bearer, there'snothing shy about the personality of this wine. It is a typical South African example of this varietal, showing concentrated violet, blackpepper and spiciness. It's velvety elegance will be enhanced by a few more years in the bottle.
  • Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
    In this classically styled wine, the flavours of blueberry, plum and cassis are prominent, enhanced by coffee and toffee undertones. The wine is full-bodied, with a firm tannin structure. An attractive garnet-red hue adds to the attraction.
  • Pinotage Shiraz
    Soft and medium-bodied, this wine reflects the distinctive characteristics of both varietals in the blend. Plum and mullberry flavours are supported by vanilla undertones while the character us spicy and peppery, with a firm tannin structure.
  • Cabernet Sauvignon
    Clasically styled, this wine has rich blueberry and plum flavours, with a dash of cassis and the support of toffee undertones. While the benefit of ageing is already present, a few more years in the bottle will be well rewarded.
  • Sauvignon Blanc
    An elegant, well structured example of this varietal, created by gentle and reductive wine-making methods. Hints of lime and grapefruit flavours are delicately combined with a light green pepper mouth-feel. A zesty after-taste completes the experience.
  • Unwooded Chardonnay
    This refined varietal unwooded Chardonnay is produced to be an elegant, medium bodied wine with an abundance of tropical fruit and lime flavours, purified by creamy gooseberry aromas.
