Storm Wines Ignis Pinot Noir 2022
Vineyards
Ignis Pinot Noir hails from a northern slope in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Organically farmed, the vineyard is cluttered with round pebbles on the soil surface with underlying decomposed granite. Latin for “fire”, ignis refers to the fact that granite is an igneous rock formation – “from fire to stone”.
Winemaking and Maturation
Storm Wines is the only producer with Pinot Noirs from each of the three appellations in the Hemel-en-Aarde. Storm Wines strives to steer the purest characteristics of each vineyard site towards bottle and cork. Small production, careful viticulture, minimal intervention in the cellar and a constant nod to the Old World present the wines with distinctive personality and character.
Tasting Notes
Storm Ignis Pinot Noir 2022 is dense and perfumed showing floral scents, spice, red cherry and raspberry fruit, savoury tannins and focused acidity.
