Description
The 202 La Motte Syrah spent 24 months in French oak barrels, compared to the usual 14 month barrel maturation period for this wine. The meticulous selection and additional barrel maturation resulted in a wine with exceptional depth and complexity. A beautiful balance of bright red fruit complemented by sweet oak aromas and creamy texture. The 2020 La Motte Syrah promises exceptional maturation and even more complexity over the next 15 years.
Food Pairing
The full-bodied character of this wine harmonises perfectly with rich, flavourful dishes, grilled foods (including grilled vegetables), game dishes (particularly those incorporating stewed fruit and sweet aromatic spice component), peppercorn crusted steaks and barbecued meat in a sticky, sweet sauce. The wine's abundant fruit also latches on to the sweetness in jellies, chutneys and berry sauces.
