2022 Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Pinot Noir
£31.00
“Family Vineyards is an equal combination of north and south-facing sites and is correspondingly self-assured and well balanced. Fermented with 20% whole bunches and aged in 29% new oak, it has lovely weight and freshness, goji berry, pomegranate and wild strawberry flavours and precise, granular tannins.”
94 Points, Tim Atkin MW
Vines on granite clay.
“More intense than the 2023 Walker Bay Pinot in terms of fruit, weight, depth. Convex tannins, hawthorn-berry bite and bitterness. But also a sweetness to the tannins, and then wonderful notes of leaf and bark and mushroom. Stratified. Tension pulling into a drawstring finish.”
17/20 Tamlyn Currin for Jancis Robinson MW
