Storm Vrede Pinot Noir 2022
$80.00
Now including 20% of the 777 clone, alongside its habitual 115 base, Vrede comes from red clay soils with a high iron component. Seductively perfumed, this stunning red has fine tannins, fleshy, opulent flavours of strawberry and redcurrant, finely judged 35% new wood and undertones of rose petal and forest floor. One of the greatest ever Cape Pinot Noirs. 97 Points – Tim Atkin MW
Intensely fragrant, showing wild-cherry, clove, rhubarb, licorice and dried-flower aromas. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and focused with support from ripe tannins. Dark floral undertones continue, offering salty hints on a firm finish. Try after 2025. 96 Points – James Suckling
