A subtle expression of Pinot with underlying minerality and structure. This is the first vintage of Hanns Storm 's own Pinot Noir after many year at Hamilton Russell making their award winning wines. A true hidden gem

This is tasty. Don't know where to place it. It has old work savory characteristics with some nice fruit. Well made.

Beautiful young wine and one of the better Pinots I've had from South Africa. Lean and floral with a juicy mid palate presence and mineral finish.
