About this Item

2015 Vrede Chardonnay

Critics Ratings

'Located on clay soils on a north-facing slope, this vineyard tends to do best in cool vintages. For all that, it's done pretty well in its maiden harvest at Storm. Basket-pressed and naturally fermented, this is tight, focused and refreshing - more Saint Aubin than Meursault perhaps.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 92/100

'2015 eloquent yet understated in its character and intensity, with floral and liquorice notes as well as citrus and oatmeal. Fresh and silky, harmonious and elegant, with a very long finish. 25% new oak; natural ferment. A long, fine future ahead of it.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*
