Newstead Lund Family Vineyards

"Among the number of boutique winegrowers near oceanside resort town Plettenberg Bay on the tourist Garden Route, Doug and Sue Lund are making their mark with a pair of MCC bubblies produced by prolific local consultant Anton Smal. This leaves not much of their chardonnay and pinot for still wines, hence the ‘occasional release’ notices below. With a sauvignon blanc, craft beer and gin, these bubbles make up a range of appealing libations to accompany the vineyard amenities available here.
Méthode Cap Classique Rosé 4 1/2 stars - From pinot noir & chardonnay, 2016 continues 2015 ’s improved form. Finely structured & piquant but not lean. Cranberry, citrus impression, shows freshness & refinement. 24 months on lees. Tangier than sibling - a sparkler for the table.

Méthode Cap Classique Brut 4 stars - From chardonnay, 2015 bubbly ups the pleasure. Incisively clean & dry, like 2014, but with 36 months on lees shows appealing toasted hazelnut & a hint of saltiness. Lovely freshness & length. Appealing to the last drop.

Sauvignon Blanc Green herb, starfruit flavours in crisp & clean 2018. A lunchtime/light meal partner.
