Storm Wines & Hannes Storm
After 12 vintages in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley – ‘Heaven-­and-­Earth’ – working intimately with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Hannes Storm discovered two tiny parcels of land with particularly exceptional terroirs. The two vineyards, one in the Hemel­-en-Aarde Valley and the other in the Upper Hemel­-en-­Aarde Valley, were planted in 2008 to Pinot Noir. Storm’s maiden vintage saw the light in 2012 and, after spending 18 months in bottle, the wines were released in August 2014.

Today Hannes and Nathalia Storm are a husband and wife team that handcrafts their Vrede Pinot Noir and Vrede Chardonnay from low-vigour, stony, clay­-rich Bokkeveld shale soil in the Hemel-en­-Aarde Valley, their Ignis Pinot Noir from decomposed granite soil in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and their Ridge Pinot Noir and Ridge Chardonnay also from low-­vigour, stony, clay­-rich Bokkeveld shale soil in the Hemel-en­-Aarde Ridge. Storm Wines is the only producer with Pinot Noirs from each of the three appellations in the Hemel-en­-Aarde.

Storm Wines strives to steer the purest characteristics of each vineyard site towards bottle and cork. Small production, careful viticulture, minimal intervention in the cellar and a constant nod to the Old World present the wines with distinctive personality and character.

We are excited to host Hannes to show his latest releases of all wines from the 3 sub regions of Hemel en Aarde.
But first, something not so well known, we’ll start with Wild Air Sauvignon Blanc.

Then a deep dive into 2025 Chardonnay and 2024 Pinot Noir.
Hannes will also pull a special bottle or two from his vintage selection to show how well his wines age and how important it is to have patience with wines of distinction.
