With its beautiful Franschhoek Valley
setting and all the elegance of the French Huguenot era, La Motte promises
visitors a rich reward.
It is indeed the home of two noble
arts - wine making and music. Wine lovers can experience its award winners
in an elegant tasting room. |
| Following this lovely “aperitif”,
they can enjoy food and wine in harmony with a seasonal lunch menu specially
compiled to suit the character of specific La Motte wines.
For music lovers, monthly classical
concerts are presented in the historic cellar - a sociable atmosphere that
enhances the finest performances. |

La Motte wines are destined for
the South African prestige market and exported to countries the world over.
The range consists of Shiraz, Millennium
(a claret style blend), Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
Older vintages and specially packed
presentations are available for sale on the estate from time to time. |
| Since the acquisition of La Motte
by the Rupert family in 1970, a program of consistent quality improvement
has been in force, reaching beyond wine production and cultural involvement.
There is also a strong focus on historic
and environmental preservation, as well as the active upliftment of educational
and living standards of its workforce.
La Motte has been awarded the coveted
Environment Management Certification and is a member of the Ethical Trading
Initiative, incorporating internationally agreed labour standards. |
