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

'Tight and linear on the nose. Lime and passion fruit with a bit of chew.' – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16++/20 (Sep 2022)

'The nose is charming with plenty of ripe mango and passion fruit scents that remain tightly controlled and defined. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity and a deft, quite tense finish. Excellent.' – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Oct 2014)
