LOTHIAN VINEYARDS:
PINOT NOIR
Tasting Notes: This 100% Pinot Noir bursts with violets, black cherry and star anise. Succulent on the palate, there is a core of fruit underpinned by lively acidity wrapped in flavours of black plum, raspberry and some savoury elements with soothing tannins. Would pair well with gammon, country paté or a porcini on ciabatta.
Viniculture: Pinot Noir comes from a 3.25ha vineyard planted to two different clones. Hand harvested, destemmed, fermented in open fermenters for a period of ten days, utilising ambient yeasts and delestage to coax both flavour and colour from the fruit. The must was lightly pressed, racked off into French oak barrique (20% new) and malo-lactic fermentation occurs in barrique. The wine was barrel matured for a period of eleven months and lightly filtered prior to bottling to maintain the wines integrity and deliicate Pinot flavour spectrum.
LOTHIAN VINEYARDS:
CHARDONNAY
Tasting Notes: Made from 100% Chardonnay, the nose exudes ripe stone fruit, lemon zest and pineapple slices. Clean, refreshing acidity supports the ripe yellow-profile fruit, complexed by vanilla bean spice and an oatmeal texture. Would pair with roast chicken, mushroom risotto or a slice of Camembert.
Viniculture: The 2016 vintage from Lothian Vineyards’ 3 blocks of Chardonnay was hand harvested at optimal ripeness. The fruit was whole bunch pressed, with a period of skin contact. Fermentation was started in stainless steel with ambient yeast. The fermenting juice was racked into a selection of French barrique, followed by a period of battonage to bolster the wine’s mid-palate. Nine months of barrel maturation on the fine lees fleshed out the wine and added richness.
Prior to bottling the wine was lightly filtered to preserve its integrity.
