Lothian Estate was once a flower farm and has built its reputation on sustainable viticulture and a deep understanding of the ecosystem surrounding its vineyards. Its philosophy is rooted in the perfect harmony of soil, climate, and natural biodiversity. The family behind Lothian Estate, located in Elgin, South Africa, has Scottish roots and chose the name to honor its heritage (Lothian refers to a historic region in southeastern Scotland). Today, the estate is managed by Gavin and Ewen Wilson, the third generation of winemakers. Their close collaboration with Master of Wine Richard Kershaw plays a key role in implementing sustainable vineyard practices and shaping the character of the estate’s wines. The result is wines that capture the essence of Elgin’s unique terroir while preserving the varietal identity.

For Chardonnay Biosphere 2024, grapes come from carefully selected plots where the variety delivers juicy fruit and refreshing acidity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to maintain the vibrant aromatic profile, freshness, and purity of fruit, while a small portion of the wine spends a short time on the lees, adding volume and a subtle creamy texture.

Chardonnay Biosphere 2024 from Lothian Estate has the liveliness and elegance you expect from a tank-fermented wine—without the heavy influence of oak. In other words, it offers everything you want to enjoy every day, in a wine crafted with precision and priced to please!
