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
Made exclusively from Pinot noir, the nose shows a more friendly and inviting character than the more traditional MCCs made with Chardonnay. The colour naturally reflects the Pinot Noir with a festive pink hue. The nose shows strawberry, pink grapefruit topped with grilled brown sugar ending with notes of a tropical mix. This brut wine has a soft easy entry and gives the impression of the addition of crème de cassis to make a Kir Royale. The sugars and acids are in fine balance and the flavours of ripe strawberries, cherry stone and caramel will put in an appearance.
Food Pairing
Chicken Schnitzel. Rose sparkling wine works perfectly with anything fried and fat.
