Ridge Chardonnay 2022

Ridge is always the slightly richer chardonnay from Hannes Storm. Ripe and powerful, but also citrus and "mineral" notes. The taste is slightly richer than Vrede, but still balanced. A beautiful classic chardonnay.

The winemaker

Winemaker Country Region
Storm Wines South Africa Walker Bay
About the winemaker After being responsible for vinification at the acclaimed Hamilton-Russell for 12 years, Hannes Storm has chosen to fully focus on his own wines. In 2008 he started planting his own vineyards in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and in total he now has 4 different plots at his disposal. The first vintage was in 2012 for Vrede Pinot Noir and Moya Pinot Noir (nowadays Ignis). In 2015, Vrede Chardonnay and Ridge Pinot noir followed. With the addition of the Ridge vineyard, Hannes is the only winemaker in Hemel-en-Aarde who makes wines on the three different terroirs that the valley knows.
Vineyard management Practising organics

Details

Vineyard The fruit for this wine comes from an east hill vineyard high in the Heaven and Earth Ridge. The soil is quite poor and has a clay-rich and stony character with Bokkeveld shale.
Vinification After harvest, the grapes are pressed in a basket press, followed by fermentation in oak. Malolactic fermentation is complete and oak ageing is as follows: 32% new barrels, 20% second year, 10% third year, 9% fourth year oak, 5% fifth year, 5% sixth year, 9% seventh year and 10% on amphorae. The total ageing is 8 months.
