La Motte Syrah Viognier 2018 750ml is 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 rich fruit character, 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, contributes to a silky texture, and adds further elegance to the blend, while Syrah provides depth, concentration, and structure.

Full-bodied and beautifully balanced, the wine offers refined tannins and vibrant acidity that create a harmonious combination of power and sophistication. Careful oak maturation adds complexity while preserving the purity and expression of the fruit.

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 2018 pairs exceptionally well with roast lamb, grilled meats, game dishes, hearty stews, and mature cheeses.
