Production Details The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness, destemmed, and fermented in stainless-steel tanks with two pump-overs per day. After three weeks, the wine was pressed and transferred to barrels. Maturation took place over 18 months in 300-litre French oak barrels, of which 33% were new. The Cabernet Sauvignon components were blended and filtered before bottling in September 2025. A total of 8,500 cases (6 x 750ml) were released as 2023 La Motte Reserve Collection Cabernet Sauvignon.
