What makes it different, South African, is the juiciness of ripe strawberry and red cherry. It has a fresh, full flavor making it enjoyable for a casual glass and at the table, for example with salmon or pasta with shrimp. It is made from four different grape varieties that are cooled overnight immediately after harvest and then pressed gently. Hence its light hue and subtle style. The La Motte winery was founded centuries ago by a Frenchman from La Motte-d’Aigues, a village in Provence.
