The Wine Bearer, La Motte Estate Franschhoek

The Wine Bearer: still, serene, quite a gentle presence with an inner strength. Her wine cup overflows with water, suggesting an abundant flow of wine at La Motte." So says its creator Toby Megaw when discussing the 560 kg, four metre high statue now gracing the visitor entrance to La Motte.

With the influx of redevelopment at La Motte Estate, CEO Hein Koegelenberg envisaged a landmark that would suit the La Motte family culture and catch the eye of visitors driving up the La Motte entrance way - a profile fitted perfectly by The Wine Bearer.
