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
Light crimson with heady notes of fresh strawberry, red plum, spiced orange and dry oat flakes. The entry is light to medium-bodied; it is broad and accommodating, with ripe, juicy fruits balanced with lively, bright acidity. The palate unfolds to reveal clove, cinnamon, dark chocolate, incense, orange, cola tonic and strawberry and gentle spices lap the tongue. A serious wine that has some density to the fine-grained tannins; is harmonious with a persistent finish. This already shows some complexity but will keep over 3-5 years.
Food Pairing
A great match with salmon or other fatty fish, roasted chicken or pasta dishes.
