La Motte Classic Collection Chardonnay

A Chardonnay from the Franschhoek Valley – one of South Africa's most prestigious wine regions, characterized by cool mountain winds and granite soils that give the wine its freshness.

La Motte belongs to the Rupert family and has been cultivating vineyards at the foot of the Franschhoek Mountains for generations. The Classic Collection stands for approachable, cleanly vinified wines with a regionally typical character – part of the aging takes place in oak barrels, which gives the Chardonnay structure without heaviness.

In the glass , citrus, nectarine, and a hint of cashew are revealed, along with a delicate yeasty note indicative of barrel aging. On the palate, it is juicy and vibrant, with a clear citrus profile and ripe peach on the finish – not a buttery, heavy Chardonnay, but a fresh, refined style.

Serving temperature 10–12 °C . Drink now. Pairs well with grilled sea bass, chicken in lemon sauce, or a mild goat cheese.

The Winery

La Motte

The La Motte winery in Franschhoek is a meeting place for the fine arts - that of viticulture and that of the high art of singing by Hanneli Rupert, South Africa's star mezzo-soprano and winery owner.

She took over the winery, which her father Dr. Anton Rupert acquired in 1970, after his death and today stands at the head of the company together with her husband Hanneli Rupert-Koegelenberg, CEO of La Motte.

The oenological management at La Motte is the responsibility of Edmund Terblanche. Under his leadership, the La Motte Sauvignon Blanc has developed into one of the benchmarks in South Africa, which is an essential part of restaurant wine lists. When it comes to red wines, La Motte focuses heavily on the topic of Syrah and Syrah blends.
