Description
The classic combination of Merlot and Cabernet Franc such as in the La Motte Millennium, is prominent in some of the world's most iconic wines. Malbec and Petit Verdot contribute intensity in colour, hints of spice as well as complexity and depth to the blend. Aromatic dark berries and plum fill the glass while nuances of fruit cake and toffee provide subtle sweetness. Barrel-derived spice and charred oak flavours are well integrated for a medium bodied wine with soft, but lively tannins and a lingering berry aftertaste.
Food Pairing
This South African interpretation of the famous Bordeaux-style red blend, the La Motte Millennium responds very well to red meat and roasts. Its accommodating structure also allows for mild curries and hard cheese. It is exceptional with creamy sauces and the earthiness of mushroom.
