Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Windansea Pinot Noir 2023
100% Pinot Noir
Wine of Origin Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley
Windansea is one of Newton Johnson’s most expressive single-vineyard sites, renowned for its generosity and layered texture. Named for its sweeping ocean views and exposure to coastal winds, this cuvée is harvested separately from the stony eastern section of the vineyard. The wine reflects the influence of heavier granitic clay soils on the estate’s highest slopes. Crafted naturally, with no additions of sulphur until after malolactic fermentation, and no yeast, fining, or filtration.
Tasting Notes: Succulent blackberry and rich red currant aromas are layered with notes of fennel, warm spice, and freshly turned earth. The palate is generous yet composed, supported by a seamless tannin structure and a persistent, chalky finish.
Ready to drink in 5 to 10 years.
