Lothian Vineyards Pinot Noir, Elgin Valley, 2020

Lothian of Elgin Pinot Noir comes from a 3.25ha vineyard planted to two different clones. Hand harvested, destemmed, naturally fermented in open fermenters for a period of ten days to coax both flavour and colour from the fruit.

The wine was barrel-matured for a period of eleven months and lightly filtered prior to bottling in order to maintain the wine’s integrity and delicate Pinot Noir flavor spectrum.

Due to Elgin’s high altitude and proximity to the cold Atlantic Ocean, the valley’s cool environment makes it the ideal home for Pinot Noir and permits a predominantly non-interventionist approach to wine making.

Handled as minimally as possible, the integrity of the fruit and its clonal characteristics are maintained, allowing the winemaker, Richard Kershaw (Master of Wine), to craft elegant and exquisitely complex wines that reflect the unique climate and terroir of Lothian vineyards.
