Lothian Vineyards Chardonnay 2020 was the talk of the town at its trade fair launch in 2024. From South Africa’s coolest wine region, Elgin, this wine is the perfect expression of the cool-climate, high-altitude vineyards with complex soils and a maritime influence. The 2020 vintage in Elgin was marked by a dry and warm growing season with some winds which resulted in small but concentrated grapes that ripened slowly preserving their fruitiness and freshness.
Lothian Vineyards Chardonnay 2020 could be mistaken for a white Burgundy, with its delicate nose of orange zest, green apple and white stone fruit with hints of toasted oak, smokiness and buttery richness. On the palate, it is elegant and complex showing flavours of lemon curd, limes, pineapple and a touch of nectarines and honey. Any richness on the palate is balanced by the crisp acidity that gives the wine a refreshing lift. The wine has a lovely creamy texture with a very clean, long finish.
Lothian Vineyards Chardonnay 2020 is produced by winemaker Richard Kershaw who is also a Master of Wine. He is one of very few MWs who make their own wine. The owners of Lothian Vineyards, the Wilson family, have Scottish roots and are third generation Cape winemakers.
