La Motte La Famille Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Sauvignon Blanc
Description
La Motte is a historic estate in the Franschhoek Valley, surrounded by mountains and cooled by southeaster breezes that help protect freshness in the grapes. For La Motte La Famille Sauvignon Blanc, the team usually draws on cooler vineyards across the Western Cape, where slower ripening and maritime influence build naturally high acidity and clear aromatics. The La Famille range focuses on approachable, reliable wines for regular drinking, with clean fruit, moderate alcohol and a straightforward, dry style. Grapes are picked to capture crisp citrus flavour rather than heavy tropical notes, and the winemaking is deliberately uncomplicated – cool fermentation in stainless steel and no obvious oak – giving a Sauvignon Blanc that feels honest, refreshing and very food-friendly.
Colour:
Pale straw with a light green tint, bright and youthful in the glass.
Nose:
Lemon and lime are at the forefront, backed by grapefruit and green apple. Subtle notes of gooseberry, fresh herbs and a gentle, stony edge add interest without the pungency some Sauvignons can show.
Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with lively, zesty acidity that gives a clean, mouth-watering feel. The palate follows the nose with citrus – lemon, lime and grapefruit – joined by green melon and a touch of passion fruit. The texture is sleek and dry, with enough flavour concentration to be satisfying while still feeling light on its feet. Overall, it’s straightforward, refreshing and made to be enjoyed well-chilled.
Finish:
Medium in length with lingering lime, grapefruit zest and a crisp, mineral snap.

La Motte La Famille Sauvignon Blanc 2025
- Food Pairing : La Motte La Famille Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a natural choice for simple, fresh dishes. Its bright acidity works well with grilled hake or snoek on the braai with lemon and herbs, cutting through any oiliness and echoing the citrus. It’s just as comfortable alongside sushi, poké bowls or crumbed calamari, where the clean, dry finish keeps things refreshing. At home, think Greek salad with feta, roast chicken with a squeeze of lemon, pasta with seasonal greens, or even a summer platter of hummus, olives and fresh tomatoes – the wine’s light body and zesty profile keep the food feeling lively rather than heavy.
