Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Chardonnay 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Hemel-en-Aarde
R520
‘Fermented with full malolactic in 28% new barrels, this impressive Chardonnay use grapes from two north and one south-facing site. Nuanced, detailed and engagingly perfumed, it marries subtle wild flower, saffron and nutmeg aromas with stony intensity and layers of pistachio, citrus and crème fraîche. 2025-30.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 94/100
‘Matured for 11 months in 228- and 500-litre barrels, approximately 25% new. Full MLF. Lemon, orange, vanilla, spice, bread dough and some leesy complexity on the nose while the palate is rich, broad and full of flavour – dense fruit matched by tangy acidity. Alc: 13%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100

| 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. |
