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
Very pale rose onion skin with notes of white pepper, kumquat, smoke, cut grass and a savoury twist. A focussed entry with a soft mid-palate ripeness and texture balanced by a lively acidity. Intriguing notes of smoked meat, grilled peach, mandarin and wild raspberries, the wine has a nod to the Bandol styling and travels to a persistent finish.
Food Pairing
Feta, spinach, mint and quinoa tartelettes.
