A true family operation, Newton Johnson Vineyards is owned and run by the Dave and Felicity Newton Johnson and their sons (and their wives!), each playing a hands-on role in the daily business. With their dedication and vineyards in the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, where some truly great wines have emerged, one can expect quality fine wines.
The region is celebrated for the classic Burgundian varietals of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and winemaker Gordon Newton Johnson has delivered in this regard. The Pinot Noir is made in true-to-varietal style, being delicate and supple - a softer wine than many of its local competitors. This makes for a wide variety of subtle flavours that make it an excellent food wine, not be missed out on. If you get the chance, you won't be disappointed when you pair with the quail recipe below!

As classic as it can be, with a touch of "je ne sais quoi." A new generation of Pinot that is slightly lighter. Looking forward to the future vintages!"
