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.
