Newton Johnson, Albarino, Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, South Africa, 2024
Newton Johnson were the first estate in South Africa to release an Albarino, back in 2013. It remains one of the very best from anywhere in the New World. The grapes are grown 4km - 8km from the Atlantic in three vineyards with granitic soils. The wine is aged in a combination on concrete eggs and stainless steel.
2024 is a great vintage in the Cape and this is ripe and concentrated with intense orchard fruits and zesty acidity - think quince, lime and honeydew melon with a subtle saline note. Long and refreshing on the finish, it is superb with seafood. Now - 2029.
"Peaches and peach stone. But also pretty nippy and tight on the finish. Mouthwatering, pithy-pip bitterness and a salty tang that is perhaps more quinine than marine. Texture like thick citrus peel and the scent of orange blossom lingering on the finish. These NJ Albariños must surely be some of the best of this variety outside of Galicia." 17.5/20, Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, 27th October 2025
