Due to Elgin’s high altitude and proximity to the cold Atlantic Ocean, the valley’s cool environment makes it the ideal home for varietals such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Rosé and Riesling and permits a predominantly non-interventionist approach to wine making.
Working in harmony with nature, our grapes are harvested by hand at the optimal moment for full flavours before being transported to our winery. 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.
VINEYARD SELECTION
The wines are made with restraint to make the inherent traits of their respective vineyards shine, with each one telling a unique story about a specific clone, site and soil coloured by the vagaries of vintage and climate. Timeless and ageworthy, they convey a true sense of the Lothian terroir.
