About

In its opulent setting on the banks of the Palmiet River and a private lake in the Elgin Valley, Lothian Vineyards shines in a class of its own. Years of searching for the perfect location finally revealed Elgin’s cool-climate terroir as an elegant setting for growing grapes to produce exceptional Burgundian-style Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Rosé varietals.The Wilson family’s non-interventionist artisanal wine-making technique flows into the feel of Lothian House: a feat of modern architecture, designed with sensitivity towards the environment. Lothian estate is distinguished by nature, positioned in the Kogelberg Biosphere, which possesses 1654 plant species found nowhere else on earth.

Product Features

• 2015 Chardonnay:  The fine acidic backbone that gives this wine a lively tension asserts itself immediately. 
• Flavours of yellow citrus, pineapple and nectarines come to the fore. 
• Wood is noted but it is very much in the background. It provides a fragrant base and some texture to the mid-palate.
• 2018 Pinot Noir:  The wine has a bold rich colour. This hints at a more substantial style of Pinot noir. 
• On the nose, Spicy Oak gives way to violets and forest floor. The entry is silky. 
• The mid-palate weight of this wine is remarkable. There are baked plums and morello cherries to be discovered. 
• The youthfulness of this wine is revealed by the cocoa powder tannins that develop along with hints of dark chocolate
