About this Item

2013 Family Vineyards Chardonnay
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Based in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, it is a family affair at Newton Johnson. Started by Cape Wine Master, Dave and his wife, Felicity, sons Bevan and Gordon took over the reins in the mid-2000s, joined today by Gordon’s wife Nadia. Today Newton Johnson is world-famous for their fine Chardonnays and Pinot Noir. Along with multiple accolades, the Pinot Noir has one of the longest consecutive Platter 5 Stars in history.

Critics Ratings

‘Exquisitely textured 2013, interleaving crisp citrus fruit, wood spice, acid and stern minerality with poise, aplomb. Fun candyfloss fillip on tail.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*

‘Satisfying wine with a beginning, middle and end and no shortage of fruit. Savoury end. Juicy, salivatory stuff. Cool and restrained. Nothing extreme and all in balance.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2015)
