Newton Johnson Noble Late Harvest Lilla
This sweet dessert wine is made from super ripe grapes, which is why “Late Harvest” is mentioned on the label. It has intense and powerful tropical fruit flavours with hints of honey and a refreshing twist of citrus.
Rich and concentrated with pear, apple and lemon wrapped up in honeyed orange marmalade sweetness. Spice and vanilla from the oak add depth before a wave of lemony acidity cleans up the finish.

Luscious
Perfect for people who have a slightly sweet tooth and like wines that are ripe and juicy rather than sharp and acidic.
The Newton Johnson family has been at the heart of Cape winemaking for many years, but only recently took the plunge in setting up its own estate. They are based near the seaside town of Hermanus, an hour and a half's drive out of Cape Town.
The choice of the cool, coastal region of Walker Bay reflects the family’s twin passions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir - as well as giving brothers Bevan and Gordy time to indulge their surfing obsession.
Their decision to also plant some Syrah and Mourvedre in the region may have raised a few eyebrows initially, but their faith has been borne out by the peppery Rhone-like wine that has resulted. It is a far cry from the usual fruit-bomb New World Shiraz, and is all the better for it.
