Vrede Chardonnay – or Peace Chardonnay has an expressive aroma with classic apple and cider notes. The Vrede Chardonnay has soft touches of oak and citrus blossom layered in very focused and delineated levels. The palate is fresh on the entry with lime, citrus lemon, and subtle orange pith notes. There is a fine bead of acidity here and it maintains wonderful freshness and tension throughout the finish. This is a delicious Chardonnay from Hannes Storm.
Influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, Hemel-en-Aarde, South Africa, is considered an exceptional cool-climate wine region, a characteristic reflected in the style of Storm Wines. Hannes Storm discovered plots in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and planted them with Pinot Noir. Hannes and his wife, Natalia Storm, produce wines on the valley’s poor, stony, clay soils, composed of decomposed granite and shale. Storm Wines is the only winery in the valley to produce Pinot Noir under all three of the region’s appellations. With small production, minimal cellar intervention, and a terroir-driven philosophy, their wines express unique personality and character.
