Lothian Magnum Pinot Noir 2021

Lothian of Elgin ‘Special Edition’ Magnum Pinot Noir 2021

Winemaking

The 2021 vintage Pinot Noir comes from a 3.25ha vineyard planted to two different clones. Hand harvested, destemmed, naturally fermented in open fermenters for a period of ten days, utilizing ambient yeasts and delestage to coax both flavor and colour from the fruit. The must was lightly pressed, racked-off into French oak barrique (25% new) and malolactic fermentation occurs in Barrique. The wine was barrel-matured for a period of eleven months and lightly filtered prior to bottling in order to maintain the wine’s integrity and delicate Pinot Noir flavor spectrum.
