Critics Ratings

'From clay-rich, low-crop Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge soil, this typically more unsettled in youth, all elements finely judged but needing a year or 2 to harmonise. 2018's black cherry and plum fruit brushed with savoury oak spice (28% new). ' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (94/100)

'Block 1 at La Vierge is the source of this Ridge Pinot Noir, planted in 2010 with clones 113 and 115. It's the lightest, tautest and most aromatic of Hannes' Storm's enviable range, with herbal, scented, wild strawberry fruit and a dusting of whole bunch spices. 2021-27.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100
