Lothian Vineyards Biosphere Chardonnay Sur Lie

Tasting Note

A pale lemon colour, the aroma is fresh and lively with frangipane, vanilla and cream fraiche intertwining with the enticing scents of nectarine, citrus and apple flesh with a dusting of spices and honeysuckle. A mineral-edged acidity upon entry, this mid-bodied breezy Chardonnay exhibits notes of crushed biscuits, lees and juicy orange segments. An oatmeal creaminess in the mid-palate continues to the long finish with a lick of vanilla on the conclusion.

Producer

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.
