Hannes and Nathalia Storm are a husband and wife team focusing on producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Hemel-en-Aarde, which means Heaven-and-Earth in Afrikaans. Its one of South Africas coolest wine-producing regions, just a few kilometers away from the Atlantic Ocean on the Cape South Coast. They are the only producer with Pinot Noirs in each of the Hemel-en-Aardes three wards (the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley at slightly higher elevations, and the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge with vineyards up to 400 meters above sea level).

Storm Vrede Pinot Noir 2022 is produced from stony, clay-rich shale soils on a northeast-facing slope of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley that gives rise to low-yielding vines. Its seductive and spicy, with savory intensity and power while remaining elegant.
The wine has a deep garnet color and exudes bold aromas of dark cherry, pomegranate, and spices. On the palate, it delivers intense flavors of red fruits, earthy notes, and velvety tannins. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression on the palate. This wine is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, game, or roasted vegetables. It is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a top-quality Pinot Noir.
