About this Item

2022 Sandford Chardonnay
36 (6 x 6) 750ml

“It’s been a great journey for us as a family coming into the valley, starting to discover it. We always say that we are learning more and more from the vineyards that we farm. That’s basically the approach we take with our winemaking as well: it’s just to never stop learning.” - Gordon Newton Johnson

100% Chardonnay

Wine of Origin: Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley
Winemaker: Gordon Newton Johnson

This Chardonnay from Newton Johnson originates from the estate's best single vineyard site, demonstrating the clarity and energy characteristic of the Granite soils within a cool, maritime climate. Emphasizing authenticity, the winemaking process follows a natural approach, with no added SO2 until bottling, and no use of yeast, enzymes, or bentonite. Only the highest quality juice fraction, obtained from whole bunch pressing, is utilized. The vineyard, now approaching 15 years of age, contributes to the wine's depth and complexity. The 2022 vintage, marked by generous ripening conditions, further enhances the wine's character and potential.

Tasting Notes: Elaborate citrus fruit layers of yuzu and lime, juxtaposed with white flowers, baking spice, crushed stones and gunflint. The plush and compact texture is prolonged with vitality in the tapered finish.

Ready for drinking in 3 to 8 years.
