Newton Johnson Southend Chardonnay 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Hemel-en-Aarde
R265
‘Grapes from south-facing and hence cooler vineyards. Matured for 11 months, 60% in barrel, of which 25% were new, and 40% in stainless steel tank. Blossom, pear, peach and lemon on the nose. The palate has a great tension about it – pure fruit and bright acidity before a pithy finish. Alc: 13%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
‘Six parcels on a cooler, south-facing slope supply the fruit for Gordon Newton Johnson's great value Chardonnay. Generally quite a focused, steely style, this is tangy and mineraletched with subtle patisserie spices from 12% new wood and a mineral, mouth-watering core.2024-29.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 93/100

| 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. |
