About this Item
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
'2015 a powerhouse, not of extract & alcohol but restraint & stylish elegance' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 5*
'Family Vineyards comes from three sites, two north- and one south-facing and is the top Newton Johnson Chardonnay. Rich, honeyed and spicy, with creamy malolactic notes and orange zesty, lemony acidity. The oak is beautifully folded into the wine. Drink: 2016-20' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2016, 94/100
