About this Item

Family Vineyards Windansea, 2015
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

‘The single vineyard with grunt. Grapes from most elevated vines on clay give 2015 a dark, muscular core laced with deep black cherry and wet earth notes, with grip. Very handsome. 30% new Burgundy barrels.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*

'Windansea comes from a block immediately below the winery. It’s the most “New World” of the Newton Johnson Pinots, with brooding concentration, plenty of colour and oak and spicy, slightly jammy fruit. The 30% whole bunches add a layer of complexity.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 93/100
