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.
