Earlier this year we introduced our 2011 vintage of the La Motte Syrah, previously known as Shiraz. We also explained the reason behind our name change – we wanted the name of the wine to reflect its style, similar to the style of the wines made in France’s Rhône Valley. The 2011 La Motte Syrah is also bottled in a typical Rhône-style bottle.  Yes, like the wine itself, the bottles they are bottled in also differ between various wine styles and regions. Thewinedoctor.com gives a great summary of the different bottle types.
