Product Notes

Storm Wines Vrede Chardonnay is a critically acclaimed wine made by Hannes Storm, a highly skilled winemaker from South Africa. This Chardonnay is elegant, vibrant and full of character. Grown on a small estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, just inland from the Atlantic Ocean, the grapes benefit from the cool maritime climate, resulting in a wine that is wonderfully fresh and crisp with minerality and excellent acidity. The Vrede Chardonnay is fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 11 months, adding richness and complexity to the wine. On the palate, there are notes of apple, pear, and lemon zest, as well as hints of toasted oak and a long, satisfying finish. This wine is perfect to pair with seafood and creamy dishes.
