From early beginnings in the 1990s, Newton-Johnson have established themselves as a top producer in one of South Africa’s best winemaking corners, the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. They are garlanded with five-star awards from Platter’s, the South African wine guide, and invariably make it onto Tim Atkin’s annual list of South African First Growths. They are most known for their Pinot Noirs, but produce an exemplary range of varieties including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, what Tim Atkin has called the best Albarino produced anywhere outside Spain or Portugal, and some red Rhône varieties. They plant their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the cooler south-facing slopes on their estate, and the other varieties get the warmer northern-facing slopes.
On the evening of Wednesday 14 May we’re delighted to have Bevan Newton-Johnson joining us. He’ll tell us about the estate, take your questions and guide us through a tasting.
