Opened too soon. Yet beautiful bouquet of red flowers, strawberries turning into jam and forest floor. Almost perfectly balanced, silky and delicious with long evolving aftertaste. Want to check it every year. One of my favourite producers of South Africa.
About
Vrede is one of the wards of WO Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, where Hannes Storm cultivates Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on northeast-facing slope. Vrede is low-vigor, stony, clay-rich Bokkeveld (Buck Veld) shale soil.
