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
This is a bolder style Pinot noir. Its colour is darker than most Pinots noirs, but the intensity and hue of the ruby flashes underscore its fresh cool climate style. The nose offers up a parade of strawberry, raspberry and red currant driven along by some spicy refined wood. The taste shows how much bolder this wine is. The intensity of fruit and a superb sugar-acid balance are held together by subtle oak integration which leads to a savoury finish with fine tannins.
Food Pairing
A great match with salmon or other fatty fish, roasted chicken or pasta dishes.
