La Motte Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Opinion/Accolades

Grapes for this wine originate from vineyards at Stellenbosch (67%), Franschhoek (28%) and Bot River (5%).Due to climatic conditions, the harvest, that was large, lost moisture, enhancing concentration and eventually ensuring excellent quality. The yield of Cabernet Sauvignon was slightly lower due to windy conditions during budding. Analyses and flavours were promising. SA Wine Index – Platinum
Personal food pairing: Thanks to its prominent minerality, firm tannins and flavourful intensity, this wine is a natural partner to beef, while it goes well with almost any other meat – slow-roast lamb, pork, venison, marinated rib-eye steak, rare beef, braised short ribs and even mushroom stroganoff. It also partners well with veggie treats such as simple vegetable tarts.
