Lothian Vineyards
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 colour of this wines reminiscent of the attractiveness of pale pink tourmaline crystals. The nose is soft and gives a slightly sweet impression of ripe red apples. This sets one up for the surprise of one of the driest Rosés available. The fresh acidity heralds a more serious food-style rose. There are hints of raspberry. This wine has a wonderful minerality encased in a superb mouthfeel. This gives length and complexity.
Food Pairing
Feta, spinach, mint and quinoa tartelettes.
