About this Item

Family Vineyards Seadragon, 2017
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

‘Farm’s oldest Pinot Noir block and richest-fruit wine. Vivid cherries, raspberries, violets, touch of lavender, house-style earthiness, 2017’s perfume beguiles. What follows is a perfect reflection in texture, succulent, sleekly curvaceous, ending savoury.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2019, 4.5* (93/100)

‘Seadragon comes from a north-facing slope on clay and granite soils and is one of the New World’s best Pinot Noirs. Close to a Chambolle or Volnay in style, it’s pure, racy and perfumed, all summer berries and pot pourri, with remarkable minerality and palate length. Delicious. 2019-27.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 96/100
