Newton Johnson Family Vineyards

Procedencia y elaboración:
Este vino procede de viñedos ubicados en la región del Western Cape South Coast, Sudáfrica, específicamente en el valle Hemel-en-Aarde a una altitud entre 220 y 290 metros sobre el nivel del mar. El suelo es un granito descompuesto con arcilla rica en hierro en las capas inferiores, y grava de textura fina a fragmentos gruesos en las laderas más altas. Las viñas tienen entre 14 y 16 años de antigüedad.

La vendimia se realiza manualmente, enfriando la uva durante la noche para mantener su frescura. Los racimos se clasifican en una cinta transportadora antes del despalillado y caen directamente al fermentador. Se emplea maceración fría de 5 a 6 días a 8-10°C, seguida por fermentación con levaduras autóctonas. El vino pasa aproximadamente 15-25 días en hollejos antes del prensado y se madura en barrica.

Perfil esperado:
Es un vino fresco y elegante que refleja la complejidad de suelo granítico con notas minerales. La vendimia cuidadosa mantiene una acidez vibrante, mientras que el tiempo en hollejos aporta textura y estructura. Su perfil es equilibrado entre frescura y riqueza.

Learn more about Newton Johnson

The winery's name is the two surnames of the founding couple: Felicity Newton and Dave Johnson. He is a Cape Wine Master and wrote his thesis on Pinot Noir, which fairly well anticipates what the house would end up specialising in.

They arrived in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde valley in 1995, built the cellar first and planted afterwards; the first bottle is from 1997. They did not buy the present farm until 2001, and it was virgin land. Today it is run by their sons Gordon and Bevan, with the winemaking in the hands of Gordon and his wife Nadia.

The valley is among the coolest places in South Africa: it sits close to the coast and is tempered by maritime winds, over a mosaic of granite, quartz and clay soils. The house bottles several single-vineyard Pinot Noirs precisely to show the differences between those granites.
