About this Item

Family Vineyards Mrs M Pinot Noir, 2013
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

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

‘From a free-draining vineyard without clay, dedicated to the late Moya McDowall. 2013 light on its feet, pretty rather than punchy, still serious. Like all these Pinots, fermented with natural yeast; year in oak, 20-35% new. Moderate 12.8% alcohol.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*

‘The Mrs M Pinot comes from the vineyard with the least clay (it’s a mix of gravel, granite and quartz). Soft and savoury, with beguiling fruit sweetness and well integrated oak, it’s bright and appealing. A hugely drinkable Pinot.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 92/100
