Motte, La

Sauvignon Blanc 2007

This 13.5% Sauvignon is sourced from organic vineyards in South Africa's Walker Bay. It's pale, almost silvery in colour, with fresh, clean, leafy scents and a touch of aromatic sweetness, too.

Shiraz-Viognier 2005

Dark black-red in colour, with sleek blackcurrant scents. I couldn't detect the 9% Viognier, though the wine was warmer and fleshier than the straight La Motte Syrah.

Shiraz 2005

Dark black-red colours, and attractive scents of sweet cassis, smoothed with oak. On the palate, it was pure, seamless and elegant, with bright acidity (natural or not) and 14% alcohol.
