Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Pinot Noir 2024

R680.00

Layered and dense fruit of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, and Turkish delight
alludes to the varied vineyard parcels. The fresh, dewy lift and full sweet violets on the nose conveys the clarity of Mrs. M vineyard in Granite soil. The broad, chewy texture engulfs the palate; framed by the thicker tannins of Windansea vineyard; leaching soft spices of cinnamon, clove and fennel in the finish.

Description

The Family Vineyards Pinot Noir serves as the quintessential expression of the estate, having evolved from the most esteemed and refined vineyard sites. Over the years, every aspect of these vineyards has been meticulously refined to showcase their authenticity, reflecting a deep connection to the land.

Each vineyard possesses unique characteristics, offering valuable insights into the complexity, texture, and subtle variations found in the wines. Positioned mid-slope in duplex soil with balanced vigor, the vineyards feature expanses of iron-rich clay that retain sufficient water and nutrients, protecting the vines from stress. At the highest point near the winery, the clay is shallow with larger gravel fragments, resulting in wines with concentrated dark fruit and a robust backbone. Descending from these vineyards, the soil becomes deeper and finer, encouraging roots to seek out the clay, leading to wines that express more red fruit and opulence.
