About

Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Chardonnay 2022 is a dry white wine crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, hailing from the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in South Africa. This wine is matured for 11 months in new oak barrels of varying sizes, followed by an additional five months in stainless steel tanks. The vineyards' unique granitic soils and varied sun exposures contribute to the wine's complexity and character.

Tasting notes

On the nose, this Chardonnay presents vibrant citrus aromas complemented by hints of oatmeal, vanilla, and a subtle flinty reduction. The palate is marked by concentrated fruit flavors, including golden apples and lime zest, balanced by a lively acidity and a touch of salinity. The finish is long and textured, with mineral undertones and a pithy, salty conclusion.

Pairing

This versatile wine pairs exceptionally well with rich fish dishes such as salmon or tuna, enhancing their flavors without overpowering them. It also complements poultry and pork dishes, as well as vegetarian fare, making it a delightful addition to a variety of culinary experiences.
