On the palate

Unveiling the Newton Johnson Windansea Pinot Noir 2024, a wine with immense character. This vintage comes from the highest, wind-exposed vineyard on the farm. It lies on shallow, dense clay, which gives the wine a muscular structure. The thicker skins from the berries produce darker tones of fruit. You’ll find notes of plum, raspberry, and black cherry on the palate. A savoury core and mineral characters are also present, adding complexity.

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.
