From the Producer
Newton Johnson Vineyards is owned and managed by the Newton Johnson family.
We are based near the seaside town of Hermanus, an hour and a half's drive out of Cape Town. This is a popular tourist destination, famous for some of the most spectacular land-based whale watching in the world and also known for its bracing 'champagne' air, lush indigenous fynbos' (literally 'fine bush,' a Plant Kingdom exclusive to the cape), mountain walks and bike trails.
Our farm lies a close six kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean in the scenic Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, a bit of "heaven on earth" as the name implies. This cool-climate appellation is recognised as home to some of the Cape's finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Dave, a Cape Wine Master, has over 30 years' experience in the South African wine industry. He is ably assisted by his equally wine- and food-focused wife, Felicity (Newton), our mother.
Then there's us brothers, both dedicated to the family concern. Gordon, the winemaker, crafts the wines to translate the message of the soils into the wine. Bevan is the managing director and in charge of the marketing. His creative wife Ezanne is a freelance graphic artist with experience in the wine industry, and she adds flair to the promotional material (like this website). Come harvest time, you'll find our whole family working together in the cellar.
