Pinot Noir Ignis comes from the northern slope of the valley of Upper Hemel-en-Aarde. An organically grown vineyard is cluttered with round pebbles on the surface of the soil with decomposed granite. Translated from the Latin "ignis" - this is fire, refers to the fact that granite is an igneous rock formation - "from fire to stone." The wine is fragrant and seductive with watermelon and strawberries, hints of granite, spicy oak, and a refreshing aftertaste.
Influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, Hemel-en-Aarde, South Africa, is considered an exceptional cool-climate wine region, a characteristic reflected in the style of Storm Wines. Hannes Storm discovered plots in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and planted them with Pinot Noir. Hannes and his wife, Natalia Storm, produce wines on the valley’s poor, stony, clay soils, composed of decomposed granite and shale. Storm Wines is the only winery in the valley to produce Pinot Noir under all three of the region’s appellations. With small production, minimal cellar intervention, and a terroir-driven philosophy, their wines express unique personality and character.
