Newton Johnson
Newton Johnson Vineyards is owned and managed by the Newton Johnson family. The farm is based in the upper Hemel en Aarde Valley near the seaside town of Hermanus an hour and a half’s drive out of Cape Town. This is a popular tourist destination famous for some of the most spectacular land-based whale watching in the world lush indigenous fynbos a floral kingdom home to 1500 species and exclusive to the Cape mountain walks and bike trails. Led by Dave a Cape Wine Master with a thesis on Pinot Noir and his wife Felicity (nee Newton) the Newton Johnson family moved to the Upper Hemel en Aarde Valley in 1995 built a cellar and started planting vines shortly thereafter. This enthusiasm for wine and Pinot noir in particular was passed on to and eagerly adopted by his sons Bevan and Gordon. They in turn have taken this family cellar and vineyards to new heights in exploring the nuances of this grape and their vineyards.
Description
The 2023 Walker Bay Pinot Noir offers aromas of ripe red berries such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, accompanied by subtle floral notes and a touch of spice. On the palate, it presents a smooth and medium-bodied texture with fresh acidity and fine tannins, supported by earthier undertones and a lingering finish.
Food Pairing
Best paired with dishes like roasted duck, wild mushroom risotto, or charcuterie, enhancing the wine's red fruit and earthy flavors.
