VinoUS Media Review
Rated 92
The 2020 Pinot Noir Vrede comes from Bokkeveld shale soils on vines planted in 2008, a native fermented and matured in 11 months in barrel with 25% new French oak and no racking. It has a lovely, transparent nose with brambly red fruit and subtle sous-bois aromas, very Old World in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a sappy entry, lightly spiced with a touch of garrigues. Very harmonious and tender on the finish. Drinking Window: 2023-2033. (Neal Martin, August 2022)
Wine Tasting Notes
Storm Vrede Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge Pinot Noir hails from a steep, northeast-facing slope in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley with low-vigour, stony, clay-rich Bokkeveld shale soil. Storm Vrede Pinot Noir is pale, floral and sweet, with rose petals, violets and wild strawberry fruit, fine tannins, subtle whole bunch spice and wonderful palate length.
