Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Pinot Noir 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Hemel-en-Aarde
R590
‘Grapes from multiple blocks on the farm, each with a slightly different soil structure but essentially granite based. Limited whole-bunch fermentation. Matured for 11 months in 228-litre barrels, 29% new. Exotic aromatics of red and black berries, orange, earth and a touch of reduction. Impressive depth of fruit, bright acidity and fine-grained, tight-knit tannins. Rich but balanced, this is Pinot at its most seductive. Alc: 14%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
‘Family Vineyards is an equal combination of north and south-facing sites and is correspondingly self-assured and well balanced. Fermented with 20% whole bunches and aged in 29% new oak, it has lovely weight and freshness, goji berry, pomegranate and wild strawberry flavours and precise, granular tannins. 2024-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 94/100
‘So much fruit! It's bounding out the glass with enthusiastic pizzazz. Sweet strawberries and strawberry leaves. Borage-leaf notes, a little minty, fresh and fragrant. Super-lithe tannins. A friendly lick-your-face puppy of a wine. You want to scoop it up and not let it go. 2023-2027’– Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20

| Producer information | Pinot Noir is infamously picky, but the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley has become one of the finest Pinot producing regions in the New World. While the Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Pinot Noir is consistently one of SA's finest examples. Newton Johnson is a family vineyard led by Dave and Felicity, located in the upper Hemel en Aarde Valley. Their sons, Bevan and Gordon, have taken over their passion for wine, particularly Pinot Noir, and help the vineyards reach new heights. |
