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
