Led by the accomplished winemaker Hannes Storm, Storm Wines is renowned for creating wines that reflect the unique character of their vineyards, and Ignis is a shining example of this.

This Pinot Noir comes from the Ignis vineyard, famous for its special soil conditions and microclimate, which give the wines a unique character. The wine is made with great care and precision, resulting in a wine of depth and complexity.

Ignis Pinot Noir 2021 offers intense and elegant aromas with notes of ripe red berries such as cherries and strawberries, complemented by spices, smoke and a touch of herbs. A subtle minerality adds complexity and a slightly salty nuance characteristic of the Ignis vineyard.

The palate is full-bodied and well-structured with a silky texture and well-integrated tannins. The wine has a nice balance between the sweetness of the fruit and fresh acidity, with notes of red fruits, spices and a slightly toasted character from the barrel aging. The finish is long and persistent with a complexity that develops over time.

Storm Ignis Pinot Noir 2021 can be enjoyed now, but also has significant aging potential. It pairs perfectly with dishes such as grilled salmon, duck, pork or game, and can also be enjoyed on its own as a sophisticated and elegant experience.

This wine is an excellent example of South Africa's ability to produce Pinot Noir with depth and nuance, and Ignis really highlights the unique terroir of Hemel-en-Aarde.
