The Syrah 2020 from Franschhoek cellar La Motte makes quite the impression. Grapes from own vineyards between 10 and 30 years old, winemaking involved 100% destemming before maturation lasting 24 months in barrel, 100% new. There’s also 10% Durif in the mix for extra vooma.
The nose shows some smoky reduction before dark berries, crushed herbs, earth and pepper while the palate has luscious fruit, bright acidity and pleasantly firm tannins, the finish dry. Alc: 13.83%. A lot of wine for R200 a bottle.
CE’s rating: 92/100.
