{"product_id":"la-motte-rose-2025","title":"La Motte Rosé 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLa Motte is a historic estate in the Franschhoek Valley, framed by mountains and cooled by valley breezes that help preserve delicacy in the fruit. For La Motte Rosé, the team typically sources grapes from suitable sites across the Western Cape, choosing parcels that deliver ripe red fruit at lower sugar levels to keep the style dry, light and refreshing. The winemaking is intentionally gentle: brief skin contact to capture a pale colour and subtle aromatics, followed by cool fermentation in stainless steel to keep the profile crisp and clean. The result is a contemporary Cape rosé that leans on New World fruit purity but keeps an Old World sense of restraint – more about fine refreshment and food compatibility than sweetness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour:\u003cbr\u003eDelicate salmon-pink with a coppery sheen, bright and limpid in the glass, suggesting a dry, modern rosé style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose:\u003cbr\u003eFresh strawberry and raspberry lead, supported by red cherry and a touch of watermelon. Behind the fruit are light floral notes – think rose petal – and a gentle citrus lift, adding brightness without becoming perfumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate:\u003cbr\u003eLight-bodied with crisp, mouth-watering acidity that keeps each sip refreshing. The palate echoes the nose with strawberry, cherry and watermelon, joined by a hint of pomegranate and subtle citrus. The texture is smooth and dry, offering enough flavour to feel satisfying while staying very easy to drink. It feels clean, uncluttered and geared for relaxed drinking rather than complexity for its own sake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish:\u003cbr\u003eMedium in length with lingering red berry notes and a gentle, citrus-tinged snap.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Motte","offers":[{"title":"750ml Bottle","offer_id":45185712128179,"sku":"PW2502RO09","price":125.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5195\/9731\/files\/PW2502RO09.jpg?v=1766150412","url":"https:\/\/www.wineofthemonth.co.za\/products\/la-motte-rose-2025","provider":"Wine of the Month","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
