Lothian Vineyards Pinot Noir, Elgin Valley

Lothian Vineyards has established itself as a premier destination for cool-climate Pinot Noir, occupying a unique peninsula site in the heart of the Elgin Valley. Surrounded by the Palmiet River and cooled by the Atlantic’s Benguela current, this estate produces a wine of remarkable ethereal beauty and structural precision.

The winemaking philosophy is strictly Burgundian, focusing on hand-sorting and small-batch fermentation to capture the nuance of their specific clones. After a careful maturation in French oak barrels, the wine develops a sophisticated, silken texture without sacrificing the bright, crunchy red fruit that defines Elgin’s high-altitude terroir. This patient, traditional approach results in a Pinot Noir that values aromatic complexity and mineral tension over raw power, reflecting the family’s uncompromising commitment to site-specific viticulture.

Pouring a glass reveals an incredibly precise profile of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and damp forest floor, all framed by a signature saline minerality. It is an intelligent, highly polished red that commands the table, perfectly elevating a classic duck confit or a delicate mushroom risotto.
