    Storm 2015 Vrede Chardonnay (Hemel en Aarde)

    This Chardonnay shows great concentration and intensity, yet also poise and elegance. Fruity scents of yellow apple and lemon custard are laced with spicy hits of toasted brioche and pie crust. The palate is rich and smooth in texture, but not overdone, thanks to ample acidity and a streak of orange oil that keeps the ripe flavors in check. It's well-balanced and incredibly harmonious, with a long, evolving finish. Drink now–2022.
