The nose is of medium intensity. It conjures up freshness with Cape Gooseberry, elderflower white freesia flowers and lemon zest.\u003c\/span\u003e It has intense aromas of herbs, lime, and lemon zest, often with a chalky texture and a hint of honey. \u003cspan\u003eThis is a bone dry Riesling which becomes obvious with a bright, tart entry. The elements discovered on the nose persist with notes of grapefruit, pine needles and a complex minerality, providing a lemon-sorbet cleansing finish. \u003c\/span\u003eThis aromatic white wine is best paired with goats cheese and feta. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSituated in the Kogelberg Biosphere in the Elgin Valley, often compared to Scotland due to its, cool, misty climate.

Today, the estate is run by Gavin and Ewen Wilson, who hail from three generations of Cape winemakers, having grown up on their grandmother's Rust-en-Vrede vineyard in the 1950's and 60's. It is not difficult to see why the family decided to make this place their home, as with its thick morning mist, rolling greenery and waterways framed by towering peaks, one might mistake Elgin for Scotland, where they are originally from. With its sights now firmly set on crafting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with finesse and elegance that reflects the unique landscape of the region, Lothian works closely with renowned winemaker and Master of Wine Richard Kershaw to produce these impressive single vineyard wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berkmann Wine Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56610203763061,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/3537\/2571\/files\/061E7873-4B28-47D0-9F5A-C3CE0FC3B2B6.jpg?v=1778773844","url":"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/products\/lothian-of-elgin-vineyards-riesling","provider":"Aitken's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
