La Motte Rosé

A South African rosé made from the classic Rhône trinity — Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah — with the finesse of a winery that has been one of the most consistent addresses in the Franschhoek Valley for decades.

La Motte lies at the foot of the Franschhoek Mountains, nestled in one of the most picturesque wine regions of the Cape Province. The winery has been family-owned for generations and stands for a clear, Mediterranean style — characterized by cool nights that ensure freshness and aromatics.

In the glass, the wine displays a bright salmon pink hue. The nose offers nectarine, red currant, and a hint of dried herbs. Lively on the palate, with a mineral character and a clean, dry acidity. The finish is short and fresh—not heavy, but a wine for the moment.

Recommendation: Serve well chilled at 8–10 °C. Pairs well with grilled sea bass, goat cheese salad, or light pasta dishes with tomatoes and fresh herbs. Also a reliable choice as an aperitif on the patio.

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.
