Vrede Pinot Noir 2020

Ripe fruit like cherries and other red fruits, but certainly also floral notes. The oak ageing is beautifully incorporated in the wine and in balance with the fruit. This is definitely a benchmark for South Africa.

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.

Details

Vineyard The fruit for this wine comes from a north-facing vineyard high in the Hemel-and-Earth Valley. The soil is quite poor and has a lot of clay-rich and stony character with Bokkeveld shale.
Vinification After harvest, the grapes are pressed in a basket press and this is followed by fermentation in oak. Malolactic fermentation is complete and oak ageing is as follows: 25% new barrels, 25% second year and the rest is third year. The total upbringing is 11 months. Only 9000 bottles produced.
