Newton Johnson, Windansea, Pinot Noir, Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, 2024
A stunning single vineyard Pinot Noir from a 2ha parcel with clay soils that give a bigger, broader wine than its sibling the Seadragon. Incredible depth with warm red berry fruit, clove and allspice. Structured but satin-like beneath the tannins. Young, long and very impressive. Reminiscent of very good Gevrey-Chambertin. 14%. Now-2032
“Definitely more luscious. Hibiscus, peony, red plum and raspberry, but fat juicy succulent strawberries rather than alpine strawberries. Really luscious fruit, tannins are suffused, blushing. Sumptuous. 17.5/20, 2026-2034”, Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, October 2025
