About this Item

Gordon Newton Johnson - Newton Johnson Family Vineyards

2 x 3 litre bottles, one bottle of each: Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Chardonnay 2018 and Pinot Noir 2020

This exclusive large-format duo from Newton Johnson Family Vineyards showcases the finest expression of the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley’s unique terroir.

Family Vineyards Pinot Noir 2020
Crafted from the estate’s most refined mid-slope vineyards, this wine is a true reflection of site and soil. With variations in gravel and clay across the slope, the vineyards yield fruit with both dark intensity and red-fruited opulence. The result is a delicately structured, yet persistent Pinot Noir with seductive aromatics, nuanced minerality, and a firm backbone—capturing the full spectrum of the farm’s terroir.

Family Vineyards Chardonnay 2018
Sourced from three distinct vineyard blocks on granitic slopes, this Chardonnay combines elegance with precision. South-facing vines bring tension and bright acidity, while the north-facing sites offer depth and texture. The quartz-rich soils with underlying clay foster a crystalline purity and complexity. Naturally vinified, the wine delivers layered citrus and mineral tones with exceptional clarity and length.

Together, these magnums offer a collector’s insight into Newton Johnson’s philosophy of site expression, gentle winemaking, and the soulful elegance of Hemel-en-Aarde wines.

Each bottle is packed in wooden box.
