Storm Ignis Pinot Noir 2019

Hemel-en-Aarde, South Africa, 75cl

Crafted by Hannes Storm and his team, Storm wines are site-specific wines hailing from different sub-regions in the cool, Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in South Africa. Exceptional terroirs and low yields, produce wines of complexity, character, and finesse, each exuding a sense of place and character. Storm Ignis Pinot Noir hails from a 1-hectare parcel situated on a steep, north-facing slope in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Primarily planted on decomposed granite, with just 25% clay sitting 225 metres above sea level. Organically farmed since 2015, 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”.Savoury scented and delicate, Storm Ignis Pinot Noir 2018 reveals pretty aromas of wild strawberry and red cherry with florals and a touch of spice. While paler in colour, Ignis has tighter, crisper tannins compared to Vrede, with a higher-toned wild strawberry and cherry sweetness, finishing juicy and zippy with a fine line of acidity. Appealing from the offset, this will only improve with age.A respected viticulturist, Hannes worked as the head winemaker for the reputed Hamilton Russell Vineyards. He has planted and consulted on many of the top sites in the valley over the years and saw his breakaway as an opportunity to develop his own Burgundian-inspired wines in a more natural, hands-off way. As such, he is proud to work with only estate grown fruit, which he ferments naturally in small batches with no additions, before aging in top quality French barrique with a maximum of 25-30% new oak across the range.
