Storm Vrede Pinot Noir 2019

Hemel-en-Aarde, South Africa, 75cl

Crafted by Hannes Storm and his team, Storm wines are site-specific wines hailing from different sub-regions in the cool, Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in South Africa. Exceptional terroirs and low yields, produce wines of complexity, character, and finesse, each exuding a sense of place and character. Storm Vrede Pinot Noir is born from a steep, northeast-facing slope in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley with low-vigour, stony clay-rich Bokkeveld shale soil at an elevation of 125 metre above sea-level. Hannes employs the more feminine 115 Pinot clone to compensate for the low yielding, heavier soils. In his words he says that “from a new world perspective we want to maintain freshness. The timing of the harvest is very important as this is a warm, north facing slope." Ageing takes place in 25% new oak for 11 months with 15 months in bottle prior to release.Storm Vrede Pinot Noir 2019 reveals succulent violets, rose petals and ripe summer fruits on the nose. The palate is silken smooth with notes of wild strawberry, spices, and oak integration finish long and fresh with a mouth-watering acidity and tannin structure. A superb, single vineyard Pinot Noir showing the cool, maritime freshness of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in South Africa, while also incorporating the classical nuances of a fine Burgundian Pinot Noir.A respected viticulturist, Hannes worked as the head winemaker for the reputed Hamilton Russell Vineyards. He has planted and consulted on many of the top sites in the valley over the years and saw his breakaway as an opportunity to develop his own Burgundian-inspired wines in a more natural, hands-off way. As such, he is proud to work with only estate grown fruit, which he ferments naturally in small batches with no additions, before aging in top quality French barrique with a maximum of 25-30% new oak across the range.
