Storm Point

Storm Point is a project based in South Africa’s Swartland, a dry, rugged viticultural area that is known for being the birthplace of South Africa’s “new wave” of wine. Indeed, Storm Point is made with these modern – or, rather, olden – sensibilities. The two wines in this series both ferment with native yeast, a rarity for wines of this value and production volume. 

This pioneering attitude has always been the ethos of the brand. It is named for the violent Cabo das Tormentas – or “Cape of Storms” – that Portuguese explorers experienced sailing around the Horn of Africa on their voyages to India. Legend has it that the keeper of the seas who chose who would pass and who would perish, the Adamastor, was kind to those who stated their intentions and waited out the storm. Thus, Storm Point represents the ideal that good things come to those who dream big, plan dutifully, and wait. With their purity and drive, Storm Point wines are excellent entry-points into the vast world of South African wine.
