2018 Vrede Chardonnay, Storm Wines, Hemel-en-Aarde

2018 Vrede Chardonnay, Storm Wines, Hemel-en-Aarde

This is a brilliant Chardonnay from Hannes Storm. So much texture and just the right level of fruit, with notes of ginger and greengage, and plenty of sea spray and struck match. A match for Burgundy.

Tasting notes

Planted with the CY95 clone on an outcrop of shale at the top of the Vrede block, this is a low-yielding site that makes wines that combine weight with freshness and acidity. Stylishly oaked and naturally fermented, it has the leesy complexity and texture of a top Meursault Perrières.
