LA MOTTE
SHIRAZ
2002
|
|
This wine was produced from 100% Shiraz grapes from vineyards in several regions of the Cape. All have unique macro climates and a large variety of soils. The trellised vineyards are managed to be perfectly in balance in terms of leaf cover and yield and the result is that each region makes a unique contribution in flavour and structure. Vintage conditions cause the grapes of each block to ripen at different times and harvest takes place over a period of one month.
The wine was matured in 225-litre barrels for 21 months - 30% in new, 30% in second-fill and 40% in third-fill barrels (70% of French and 30% of American oak).
Aniseed, black currant and violet on the nose. The palate shows additional black olive and bay leaf flavours. More savoury than fruity, this deep ruby coloured wine has a medium to full-bodied palate, with a mouth-filling peppery finish. Enjoy on its own or with venison, spicy patés, guinea fowl and roast beef or lamb.
