About Storm
A relatively recent addition to the South African wine scene, having only released its first vintage in 2014, Storm Wines has become one of the most celebrated Pinot producers in the Cape in just a few short years. While working under his label for a short period, founder and winemaker Hannes Storm is extremely experienced with growing Burgundian varietals in this part of the world, as he used to be the head winemaker at the legendary Hamilton Russell Vineyards.
Situated on the shale soils of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge just outside Hermanus, Storm benefit from a magical combination of climate, terroir and exceptional vineyards. Influenced by the cool Atlantic Ocean, it is considered an exceptional cool-climate winegrowing region.

Decanter (95)Hannes Storm makes three distinctive and very different Pinot Noirs from estate-grown fruit in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley near Hermanus. The Vrede Pinot comes from an elevated vineyard site on shale soils and is very Burgundian in style but with a new world flair. Lush red fruit dominates the nose and palate with cherries and violets dominating before a lick of oak leads to more tertiary characters of soil and tomato leaf. Long and delicious. |

Tim Atkin MW (96)Now into its tenth vintage - where did the last decade go? - this is a brilliant Pinot Noir that builds complexity in the glass. Opulent, spicy and perfumed, with rose petal and violet aromas, fine acidity, considerable underlying grip, savoury tannins and ageing potential and subtle 25% new oak. |
