LA MOTTE CHARDONNAY

LA MOTTE SYRAH
R210,00Why is it Special?
What makes La Motte Syrah special is its "Artisanal Restraint." In a region known for bold fruit, La Motte focuses on perfume and structural tension. It is "Special" because it captures the "Cool-Climate Spice"—a unique combination of white pepper, wood-smoke, and dried herbs that is rare in warmer-climate reds. It is a wine of "Culture," frequently cited as one of the most successful interpretations of the Syrah style in the Southern Hemisphere, offering incredible ageing potential for the patient collector.

LANDSKROON BLANC DE NOIR
R90,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
While 1998 did not enjoy the textbook “top vintage” conditions, this Opus One stands out for its exceptional balance, precise fruit purity and ageing potential. Many collectors regard it as an underrated vintage that has matured gracefully and now rewards patience.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Rose Rocks Wine Awards 2021: Gold
- John Platter: 3 Stars
- Falstaff: 87/10
TASTING NOTES:

Finish: Clean and slightly off-dry, the finish is crisp with lingering floral and berry echoes.
LANDSKROON PINOTAGE
R130,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Landskroon is special because it is a Family Estate Heritage wine. In an era of corporate-owned vineyards, Landskroon remains family-operated, ensuring that every bottle carries a personal seal of quality. It is "Special" because it captures the Paarl heat—resulting in a riper, more concentrated fruit profile than its Stellenbosch counterparts, while maintaining a price-to-quality ratio that is virtually unmatched in the premium category.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Tim Atkin MW: 89/100 (2023 Vintage)
- Platter’s Wine Guide: 4 Stars (2023/24 Vintages)
- Gold Wine Awards: Gold Medal
- Michelangelo International Wine Awards: Gold
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: A powerful and complex bouquet. Dominant notes of ripe dark plums and maraschino cherries are layered with secondary aromas of vanilla, roasted nuts, and a distinct cedarwood smokiness.
Palate: Rich, full-bodied, and intensely flavoured. The palate is a tapestry of black cherries and dried fruit, supported by firm, grippy tannins that suggest excellent ageing potential. The oak integration provides a subtle creamy texture.
Finish: Long, warming, and decidedly savoury. It leaves a lingering impression of baking spices, dark chocolate, and a hint of tobacco leaf.

Tom Cannavan: 91/100
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: The bouquet opens with aromas of blackberry, youngberry and ripe blackcurrant, layered with hints of cocoa, almond, cedar and subtle vanilla oak spice. Additional notes of dark chocolate, black cherries, currants and berry core are often cited.
Palate: Full‑bodied in style yet balanced, the palate reveals rich dark fruit (black cherry, blackcurrant) complemented by cedarwood, pencil shavings, dark chocolate and soft tobacco/leather tones. Tannins are present but softened, the acidity keeps the structure lively, and the wine maintains a good sense of regional freshness.
Finish: The finish is smooth, lingering and satisfying — dark fruit flavours fade into cocoa, cedar, soft graphite minerality and gentle oak spice, leaving a clean aftertaste and a wine built for near‑term drinking or short‑term cellaring.
LANZERAC PINOTAGE
R230,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Lanzerac is special because it is the "Original Legend." Every bottle carries the weight of being the first to ever bear the name "Pinotage." It is "Special" because it captures the "Jonkershoek Style"—a unique microclimate that provides a cooler ripening period, resulting in a wine with more perfume, higher natural acidity, and a more elegant, "Pinot Noir-like" delicacy compared to its warmer-climate neighbours.REVIEWS/AWARDS
