About this Item

Newton Johnson
2014 Family Vineyards Pinot Noir
3 (1 x 3) 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.

The wines of the Family Vineyards are the select combination of vineyard parcels that make the best, most distinct and intriguing wines that represent the farm. The Pinot Noir is the embodiment of the most definitive and consistent vineyard sites on the estate. Over the years every aspect of these vineyards has been detailed and fine-tuned in order to present their individual character and the relationship with the farm.

Critics Ratings

‘Uniquely remarkable record of five star ratings - it has never failed. Low yields in 2014 meant all the fruit from the farm's top three sites combined here, with no single vineyard bottlings. As always, a triumph of subtle insistence; pure fruit integrated with succulent acidity, understated tannins and sensitive oaking in an elegant composition. Its power belies its demure demeanour.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2016, 5*

‘The Family Vineyards bottling combines the three single estate wines in a blend that is consistently among the best Pinots in the Cape. Aromatic, refined and beautifully framed, it has subtle oak, sweet red fruits, more tannin than you think and a tangy, savoury, refreshing finish.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 94/100
