La Motte Syrah Viognier 2017 750mlis a distinguished South African red wine crafted by the renowned La Motte Estate in the Franschhoek Valley. Inspired by the classic Rhône-style tradition of co-fermenting Syrah with a small percentage of Viognier, this elegant vintage combines richness, aromatic complexity, and refined structure.

The palate reveals layers of blackberry, ripe plum, black cherry, violet, lavender, cracked black pepper, liquorice, dark chocolate, and subtle oak spice. The addition of Viognier enhances the wine’s floral aromatics, colour stability, and silky texture, while the Syrah provides depth, concentration, and structure.

The highly regarded 2017 vintage produced wines of excellent balance, fruit purity, and ageing potential. Full-bodied and beautifully structured, the wine offers refined tannins and vibrant acidity that create a harmonious and sophisticated drinking experience.

The finish is long, smooth, and elegant, lingering with notes of dark fruit, spice, floral nuances, cocoa, and gentle oak. Suitable for both immediate enjoyment and further cellaring, La Motte Syrah Viognier 2017 pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled meats, game dishes, hearty stews, and mature cheeses.
