Wonderful ways with Syrah at La Motte

Press Release

Published on

EVERY year in August La Motte makes the most of Syrah. Rather than only celebrating this versatile variety on its National Day (21 August), La Motte finds ways to make it part of the last stretch of winter in every way it can.

How Syrah adapts to terroir, how beautifully it blends and matures, and its exceptional versatility as a dinner partner make it an obvious choice for wine farmers, wine makers and wine drinkers.

Choose your favourite from La Motte’s selection of Syrah wines online, or visit La Motte to experience Syrah in a variety of winter-winelands-ways.

  • Taste the influence of vineyards and vintages

Relax in front of the Tasting Room fireplace or make the most of sunny days on the veranda. Enjoy the 2024 Reserve Syrah, a sensational example of how the spicy, perfumed character of cool-climate Elim Syrah complements a creamy texture and red fruit Franschhoek profile. Also try the Pierneef Atelier Syrah Viognier, the estate’s flagship Hanneli R Rhône-style blend and a special vintage from the Rupert Vinoteque on the estate.

Available during August, from Mondays to Sundays 9am-5pm, R200.
  • Winter flavours at L’Ami
Winter in the winelands is the perfect time to enjoy beautiful food and wine. Don’t miss the warming winter menu at L’Ami Family Brasserie; additional to the regular L’Ami offering, guests can choose between a two- (R494) or three-course (R595) option, including a glass of wine from the La Motte Reserve Collection with both starter and main course.
Always innovative when it comes to finding flavour partners, chef Stephan Moolman suggests the ultimate Syrah & Steak combo: L’Ami’s famous flame-grilled fillet with either a gutsy peppercorn sauce or a classic Beurre Bordelaise. Both these options make for an exceptional pairing with La Motte’s Rhône-style Reserve Syrah. And during the Seven Days of Syrah (21-28 August), a glass of the recently released 2024 Reserve Syrah is on the house.
Available from Wednesdays to Sundays.
