Lothian Vineyards Chardonnay

Lothian Vineyards Chardonnay is a refined expression of the cool Elgin Valley, renowned for producing elegant wines. Crafted with meticulous care, it is sourced from three hand-harvested blocks and undergoes whole-bunch pressing, fermentation with ambient yeast, and maturation in French barriques.

Battonage and ten months on fine lees add depth and balance. Guided by Master of Wine Richard Kershaw, this Chardonnay embodies purity and precision.

• Pale yellow in colour, with a luminous clarity that hints at its refined character.
• Aromas of gentle oak spices, nutmeg, and subtle citrus zest create an inviting bouquet. Layers of orange, apricot, and yellow apple unfold on the palate, offering a rich yet delicate texture.
• Crisp, clean acidity enhances the wine’s vibrancy, leading to a long, elegant finish.
• The influence of battonage adds a creamy mid-palate weight, complementing the fresh fruit flavours.

Lothian Vineyards Chardonnay showcases a harmonious balance between structure and minerality, making it a standout cool-climate Chardonnay.

This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood such as grilled prawns or butter-poached lobster, as well as creamy poultry dishes or wild mushroom risotto. For cheese lovers, an aged Comte or creamy Brie enhances its complexity. Whether paired with a meal or enjoyed on its own, this Chardonnay exemplifies Lothian Vineyards’ dedication to excellence.
