Storm 'Vrede' Pinot Noir, Hemel-en-Aarde, South Africa 2022
“One of the greatest ever Cape Pinot Noirs.” - Tim Atkin MW, 97 points
The aromas of a great Pinot Noir should make your knees buckle and the palate should act like the featherweight nudge that sends you falling backwards until you are lying supine, staring at the heavens. Well, can someone help me up, please!? 13.5% alc. Drink now-2032.
Tim Atkin MW: “Vrede comes from red clay soils with a high iron component. Seductively perfumed, this stunning red has fine tannins, fleshy, opulent flavours of strawberry and redcurrant, finely judged 35% new wood and undertones of rose petal and forest floor. One of the greatest ever Cape Pinot Noirs. 13.5% alc. Drink now-2030." 97 points
The Wine Advocate: “Storm is another terrific New Wave winery in the Hemel-En-Aarde Valley founded by Hannes and Nathalia Storm. The couple makes some of South Africa's best Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.”
