Storm Wines Ridge Chardonnay 2024 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Hemel-en-Aarde
R860
‘Grapes from a Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge vineyard planted in 2019. Matured for 11 months in 228-litre barrels, 25% new. The nose is alluring with top notes of flowers and herbs before lemon and grapefruit, as wells as a touch of flinty reduction for added complexity. The palate is taut and focused, with superb fruit concentration, electric acidity and a long, saline finish. A wine of striking clarity and energy. Alc: 13%.’ - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 97/100

| Producer information | Hannes Storm has spent nearly 2 decades in the pursuit of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay perfection. No single SA winemaker is more dedicated or focused on growing and vinifying Pinot and it shows. After 12 years as winemaker at Hamilton Russell, he started his eponymous label Storm Wines in 2012, and has since been focusing on the best-suited sites for this challenging variety. The remarkable Storm trio – the Ignis, Ridge and Vrede Pinot Noirs each come from one of the three appellations in the Hemel-en-Aarde. Storm Wines is the only producer with Pinots from each of these three appellations. If you have not tried these, you are missing out on South Africa’s benchmark Pinot Noirs. |
