The estate lies alongside the Palmiet River and focuses on site-driven wines that express Elgin’s distinctive combination of crisp acidity, mineral tension and restrained fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"409\" data-end=\"821\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"1402\"\u003eThe Lothian Isobel Rosé 2022 is made entirely from Mourvèdre, a variety more commonly associated with Bandol in southern France. The grapes were hand-harvested from a single block planted on Table Mountain sandstone soils and whole-bunch pressed to preserve delicacy and freshness. Extended lees contact added texture and subtle complexity while maintaining the wine’s dry, focused style. The result is a rosé that leans more toward savoury elegance than overt sweetness, offering a thoughtful and food-friendly interpretation of Elgin rosé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"1402\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1504\" data-end=\"1598\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1515\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003eVery pale onion-skin pink with brilliant clarity and delicate copper highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1504\" data-end=\"1598\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1600\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1609\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003eWhite pepper, kumquat and wild raspberry aromas lead the nose, followed by hints of grilled peach, citrus peel, smoke and freshly cut herbs.
