Neil Pendock, one of South Africa’s foremost wine writers, recently mentioned La Motte’s Nabot farm in his Sunday Times Travel & Food column. Neil had this to say about the sauvignon blanc we make from Nabot’s grapes:

“…the wine has a hint of creaminess you find in the best examples from Sancerre. The flavours are suitably tropical: spanspek and honey melon with a green twist.”
