Lothian Vineyards
Lothian Vineyards is an Elgin producer specialising in cool-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Rosé. Set beside the Palmiet River and a private lake in the Kogelberg Biosphere, the estate focuses on site-sensitive winemaking that reflects the freshness and restraint of the Elgin Valley.
Description
The wine has a medium colour intensity of Ruby red. The nose is delicate and hints of dark cherries and musk sweets. There is a spice contribution from the wood of cinnamon and star anise. Savoury notes of the oregano, basil and bay leaf found in a bolognaise sauce round off the bouquet. The first taste impression is of the silkiness and fineness of the tannins. All the elements of the bouquet persist. The balanced wooding, the gentle handling of the grapes during the ferment, shows in the quality of the tannin profile. It is fine grained but lends a strength and presence to the wine not apparent from the entry.
Food Pairing
A great match with salmon or other fatty fish, roasted chicken or pasta dishes.
