About this Item

Family Vineyards Chardonnay, 2014
1 (1 x 1) 3000ml

Based in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, it is a family affair at Newton Johnson. Started by Cape Wine Master, Dave and his wife, Felicity, sons Bevan and Gordon took over the reins in the mid-2000s, joined today by Gordon’s wife Nadia. Today Newton Johnson is world-famous for their fine Chardonnays and Pinot Noir. Along with multiple accolades, the Pinot Noir has one of the longest consecutive Platter 5 Stars in history.

Critics Ratings

'Exquisitely textured with a chalky minerality, 14 interleaves crisp citrus fruit & wood spice (22% new oak) with a stern acidity. Poised & elegant, it will reward ageing.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 5*

'Like all the Newton Johnson Chardonnays, this went through malolactic fermentation, producing a wine that’s textured and comparatively soft, with a structure that is more Meursault than Puligny-Montrachet. Oatmealy and spicy, it finishes with a lick of acidity.' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2015, 93/100
