The Story
The Elgin Valley in South Africa is renowned for its high altitude and cool coastal breezes, making it the perfect environment for growing exceptional Pinot Noir. The Lothian estate sits right at the heart of this region, crafting wines that rival the elegance of classic European styles while maintaining a distinct, vibrant personality of their own. This specific vintage promises a highly aromatic and inviting profile. It leads with a burst of bright, fresh red fruit - think wild strawberry, crunchy raspberry, and vibrant cherry. Beneath that primary fruit, there is a beautifully subtle, earthy spice and a hint of savoury forest floor that adds real complexity. It is light on its feet, driven by a refreshing acidity and incredibly silky tannins that give the wine a beautifully smooth, elegant finish.
