Chardonnay and its seductive sway...
Pour your Chardonnay into a beautiful glass and swirl… Watch that golden curve – such a seductive sway!
The 2022 La Motte Chardonnay is lovely as a solo glass for those who prefer a white with substance, but also exceptionally versatile as a partner to food. Fruity nectarine and citrus blossom on the nose with hints of cashew nut and baked bread as subtle evidence of wood maturation. The palate is juicy and polished, medium-full, with abundant citrus and succulent peach.

Syrah and the art of simplicity
A generous glass of La Motte Syrah and the luxury of a proper sourdough loaf from a wood-fired oven. That’s art!
Linger with the elegance of La Motte’s 2019 Syrah, Enjoy red berry and mulberry flavours, complemented by Durif-derived plum flavours and distinct black pepper. Well-considered French oak intrigues and the palate’s seductive creamy texture makes it a beautiful choice for a glass on its own or when you complement that slice of bread with a meaty stew or smoky grill.

Something for the slow season
With the harvest done and dusted, there's no more must to use in the baking of La Motte's famous mosbolletjies.
But for everyone who loves this brioche-type loaf with its distinct aniseed sweetness, we have an alternative! Still made with a sweet sourdough culture, just without the seasonal must, the delightful and ever so pretty anysbrood (aniseed loaf) is slowly fermented to become your new seasonal favourite!
Available from the La Motte Bakery, Wednesday to Sunday. Please order with Bonita to avoid disappointment.

Come on, linger a little longer!
Nothing is as inviting as the mellow sunshine and charming shadows of an Autumn garden.
Join us in the La Motte Bakery and Garden Café! Start the day with the simplicity of mieliepap or choose the decadence of Hollandaise-smothered eggs.
Just here for coffee or tea? You might be defenceless against the charm of rich, but delicate patisserie!
Perhaps the Autumn mood invites you to linger a little and stay for lunch and a glass of your favourite La Motte wine.
