La Motte Millennium

The La Motte Millennium is a remarkable blend from the traditional La Motte Wine Estate in South Africa's Franschhoek Valley.

It is intense on the nose, with aromas of cherry, mulberry and cinnamon. Due to the ageing in oak barrels, notes of caramel are also noticeable. Velvety and juicy on the palate, with pronounced aromas of berries. A medium-bodied wine full of finesse and elegance.

The grapes for La Motte Millennium come from the Walker Bay, Villiersdorp, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch regions. This diversity of terroirs also contributes to the special complexity. The different grape varieties matured separately for 12 months in French oak - 30% new barrels and 70% older barrels were used.

Enjoy this wine with hearty roast lamb, game variations, grilled steaks and mature cheese.

La Motte

Dass der Begriff „Weine aus der Neuen Welt“ häufig eben doch zu kurz greift, lässt sich auch an dem Weingut La Motte in Südafrika festmachen. Denn die Flächen des Weingutes wurden 1709 vom französischen Hugenotten Pierre Joubert erworben.

La Motte wurde dann 1970 von Dr. Anton Rupert, einem Unternehmer und engagierter Naturschützer, erworben. Es liegt in der bekannten Weinbaugegend Franschhoek in Südafrika. Nach seinem Tod übernahm seine Tochter Hanneli Rupert-Koegelenberg das Weingut. Sie ist eine von Südafrikas besten Mezzosopranistinnen. La Motte ist eines von drei Weingütern der Familie Rupert.

Unter der Leitung des Weinmachers Edmund Terblanche baut das Weingut La Motte Estate auf einer Rebfläche von 108 Hektar bevorzugt Shiraz an.

La Motte Rotweine werden als feinduftig und elegant beschrieben. Besonders die kraftvollen Shiraz-Rotweine sind mehr als ein Geheimtipp des Weinguts.

Holden Manz Visionaire
The name ‘Holden Manz Visionaire’ stands for something special. It represents the attempt to create an expressive wine consisting of 6 different grape varieties - and the winery succeeded! The interaction of the single grape varieties was a real challenge for the winemaker as he had to take the most diverse aspects into consideration. The grapes were selected from various vineyards with different types of soil. The ageing was carried out in 225-litre French oak casks, of which 20% were new and 80% were second- and third-fill barrels. The wines were aged for 24 months before they were blended and bottled, resulting in a wine of extreme complexity that shows a perfect balance between residual sugar and acidity. On the nose, it pampers your senses with a variety of aromas such as notes of mulberries and currants as well as fine nuances of white pepper and violets. The Holden Manz Visionaire is elegant and smooth on the palate, with a medium body. The palate is predominantly characterised by notes of red and black fruit and an exceptional minerality, wonderfully rounded off by skilfully integrated, strong tannins. Enjoy this wonderfully complex Holden Manz Visionaire with an air-dried fillet steak or lamb chops, for example.
