WYN of the Month - Storm Vrede Chardonnay 2025

Awarded 97 points by Christian Eedes and 95 points by Tim Atkin MW, Storm Vrede Chardonnay 2025 is a standout vintage, praised for its purity, complexity and remarkable balance.

Made from 100% Chardonnay grown on stony, clay-rich Bokkeveld shale soils in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, this is cool-climate Chardonnay at its finest. Winemaker Hannes Storm brings together vibrant fruit, natural acidity and subtle oak to create a wine with both precision and depth.

At WYN, we love wines that offer more than just a great first impression. Vrede Chardonnay has the detail and structure to keep you coming back for another sip, whether you're enjoying it on its own or pairing it with a meal.

Tasting notes:

  • Nose: Lime, lemon, fresh herbs & subtle nuttiness
  • Palate: Pure, textured & beautifully focused
  • Character: Complex, savoury & mineral-driven
  • Finish: Long, fresh & mouth-watering

Pairing suggestions:

  • Grilled line fish
  • Roast chicken
  • Creamy seafood dishes
  • Scallops & prawns
  • Roast cauliflower

A serious Chardonnay with plenty of personality. Our WYN of the Month.
