Overview
Environmental management is a high priority at La Motte and is factored into the long-term strategy as well as daily running of the estate. Examples of this include protecting precious natural flora known as ‘fynbos’ on the adjoining Wemmershoek mountains and organic wine farming in selected vineyard blocks.
La Motte was one of the first wines estates to be awarded the coveted ISO 14000 Environmental Management Certification. The estate also complies with the ISO 9000:2000 certification, is a member of the Green Mountain Eco Route in the Groenlandberg area, and is accredited to the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative.
