'Savoury nuance to the red berries, liquorice and a touch of cola. The savoury line follows on the palate that has mouth-watering, lively tight fruit, supported by tilled earth and complementing soy. Ridge is the most complex and long-lived in the range. Stock up. ' - Higgo Jacobs (Feb 2022)

'From clay-rich, low-crop Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge soil, this typically more unsettled in youth, all elements finely judged but needing year or 2 to harmonise. 2017 (27% new oak) has a pleasant ferrous nuance. ' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (94/100)

'Ridge comes, obviously enough, from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge and is made with the youngest vines in the Storm portfolio. Grown at 330 metres of Bokkeveld shale, it's spicy and refreshing, showing pomegranate and red berry fruit and some underlying grip. 2020-25.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 94/100
