This wine is produced by the La Motte Cellar, historic landmark in the Franschhoek Valley, home to South Africa's gourmet capital.  The style reflects old-world traditions skilfully harmonized with new-world intensity.

Carefully selected grapes from different vineyards have produced pepper, spice and berry fruit flavours, typical of this varietal.  A firm structure, with a long finish.  Perfect with roasts and spicy plates.

This Shiraz has plums and spice on the palate with an undertone of bruléed sugar, gentle soft tannins and a creamy aftertaste.  Good on its own or with a rump or sirloin steak.

The 18th century, time-honoured art of winemaking lives on in Zonnebloem wines - from the carefully tended vineyards to the meticulous craftsmanship in the cellar.
