Key Features

  • MOQ 5 Bottles
  • Grape Variety: The Southend Chardonnay is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. This varietal is known for its versatility and ability to express a wide range of styles, from lean and mineral to rich and oaky.
  • Vineyard Sourcing: The grapes are sourced from Newton Johnson's Southend Vineyard, which is situated in the cooler, coastal Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. This region’s maritime climate is ideal for Chardonnay, helping to retain freshness and acidity while allowing for complex flavor development.
  • Winemaking Techniques: The 2022 Southend Chardonnay is crafted using traditional winemaking methods. This includes whole-cluster pressing, fermentation in French oak barrels, and aging on the lees (dead yeast cells). The use of oak barrels imparts subtle flavors of spice and vanilla, while lees aging adds richness and texture.
  • Tasting Notes: The 2022 vintage is expected to offer a complex and elegant flavor profile. Typical tasting notes may include ripe stone fruits such as peach and apricot, citrus fruits like lemon and lime, and hints of toasted nuts or brioche from the oak aging. There may also be mineral or flinty notes, reflecting the vineyard's terroir.
  • Structure and Body: The wine typically features a medium to full body with a creamy, smooth texture. The acidity is well-balanced, providing freshness and vibrancy that complements the richness of the fruit and oak influences.
  • Aging Potential: Given its balanced structure and complexity, the 2022 Southend Chardonnay has good aging potential. It can develop further over several years, with its flavors evolving and integrating more fully.

Experience the refined elegance of Newton Johnson Vineyards Southend Chardonnay 2022, a beautifully crafted white wine from the prestigious Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. This region, known for its cool maritime climate and exceptional terroir, provides the perfect environment for producing Chardonnay with depth, complexity, and finesse.
