A family run business, with their son Bobby recently joining the team.
The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines truly express this cool climate, but the Malbec, Chenin and Cabernet Franc are standing out and thriving in this region, leading the pack with their exceptional quality.

But, in order to do this, the terroir had to be faultless. Lothian Vineyards is now proud to present a range of Cape wines of uncompromising quality and integrity. Lothian’s Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and dry Riesling are grown in ideal conditions, thanks to a cool climate created by mountain shadows, south-facing vineyards, and breezes from the river and nearby ocean.
