SHOCKING SOUTH AFRICAN CHARDONNAY HACKS CULT BURGUNDY.

Not much to say here outside of WOW. Bravo. Impressive. South African aficionados will recognize Hannes Storm from his 14-year tenure as winemaker for Hamilton Russell, the estate that put Walker Bay and South African Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the map. Storm is his new project, and we’ve been following the Pinot Noir for a couple of years. It was only this year that we got to try the Chardonnay and it is absolute brilliance. So we asked for as much as they would give us. If you like that gunflint and smoke reduction that is all the rage in PYCM and Pierre-Vincent Girardin, this is your new go-to Chardonnay when you don’t want to break into the rare stuff. That being said, only fifty six-packs of this wine come to the US each year and we have 48 bottles to share with members. Burgundian is a tag phrase we throw around a lot, but this coastal, saline style is as honestly Burgundian and fresh-fruited as it gets.
