Hemel en Aarde is one of the coolest (not trendy cool..) appellations in South Africa and should be on the hit list of every wine lover out there. Renowned for its beauty, ocean views and cooler temperatures, this is a high quality appellation focused on high quality wines. 

Led by Dave and Felicity, the Newton Johnson family moved to the Upper Hemel en Aarde Valley in early 1995. Their enthusiasm for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in particular has taken this family property to new heights in exploring the nuances of this grape and their vineyards, under the guidance of the newer generation of Bevan, Gordon and Nadia. Together Newton Johnson take a more artful approach with this blend, aspiring to create a wine with more beauty than exuberance.

Tasting Note:
The vineyard for this Sauvignon Blanc was first planted way back in 1997 and as the Hemel-en-Aarde is admired for it's buoyant, fresh and aromatic white wines, the Newton Johnson family have taken a more artful approach with this wine, blending with 6% oaked (500L fudre) Semillon which broadens this texture, combining a creamy sensation with the dryness and length of natural acidity. 
Fresh and clear with crystalline flinty characters, ripe fruit, delicate quince and white asparagus, followed with wafts of perfumed autumn fynbos and withering flower petals and a refreshing lengthy finish.

This is a Dry, Medium bodied wine with High acidity and No tannin. It is Pronounced in it's intensity with Medium alcohol and a Medium finish.
