Lothian Of Elgin
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 all 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 Rose 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.
Description
This refined Chardonnay delights with bright citrus peel, juicy peach, and pear aromas, elevated by subtle hints of crushed almonds and creamy cashew. A lively acidity brings freshness and focus, balanced beautifully by a creamy, lees-derived texture. Clean, soft, and savoury on the finish, it’s an elegant and refreshing expression of Chardonnay, perfect for any occasion.
