2016 Family Vineyards Pinot Noir, Newton Johnson, Hemel-en-Aarde

Gordon’s ability with Pinot Noir is truly impressive, and this finely-judged, delicate yet complex wine shows his talent off in full. Notes of cranberry and other red fruits are supported by notes of spice and freshly cut flowers.

Tasting notes

Made up of mostly Windansea, with 25% each of Seadragon and Mrs M, this “expresses all of the soils of the farm”, according to Gordon Newton Johnson, and is a superb Pinot. Leafy, complex and spicy, with evident whole bunch flavours, fine tannins and a sweet finish.
