Storm Ignis Pinot Noir 2021

Storm Vineyards have made a notable entry into South Africa`s fine wine arena, marking their debut vintage in 2014. Hannes Storm, formerly the head winemaker at Hamilton Russell, employs a gentle and less interventionist approach to create exquisite Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. The Ignis Pinot Noir originates from a northern-facing slope situated in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. This vineyard is cultivated using organic methods, and the soil is characterized by an abundance of smooth pebbles on the surface, underlain by decomposed granite. In spite of challenges within the country and restrictions on exports during the pandemic, South African winegrowers experienced a highly successful 2021 vintage, boasting an abundant crop.
