In its opulent setting on the banks of the Palmiet River and a private lake in the Elgin Valley, it shines in a class of its own. Years of searching for the perfect location finally revealed Elgin’s cool-climate terroir as an elegant setting for growing grapes to produce exceptional Burgundian-style Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Rosé varietals.
The Wilson family’s non-interventionist artisanal wine-making technique flows into the feel of the house: a feat of modern architecture, designed with sensitivity towards the environment. Lothian estate is distinguished by nature, positioned in the Kogelberg Biosphere, which possesses 1654 plant species found nowhere else on earth.
Guests are treated to a theatrical show of nature with sightings of rare Cape Leopard, African Fish Eagle, Cape Clawless Otter and Cape Eagle Owl between an array of outdoor experiences. This three-year-long labour of love has resulted in the achievement of award-winning wines and the beguiling lifestyle of an unparalleled countryside retreat.
Each en-suite bedroom is appointed with air-conditioning (with heating and cooling functionality), pure cotton linen, hairdryer and thoughtfully selected bathroom amenities. Subtle touches of hand-embroidered curtains, select South African art and hand-picked decor items complement the restful palette, delivering a richly layered, relaxing hospitality experience.
