Tasting Notes
The 2023 Ignis Pinot Noir is fragrant, elegant, and beautifully detailed, offering aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and cranberry layered with subtle notes of forest floor, baking spice, and crushed stone. The palate is silky and refined with vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins supporting pure red fruit flavours and delicate savoury complexity. Fresh, precise, and beautifully balanced, the finish is long with remarkable energy and mineral tension.
About the Winery, Production & Critical Reputation
Storm Wines is one of South Africa's most highly regarded boutique wineries, founded by Hannes Storm in the cool-climate Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. The estate focuses exclusively on single-vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, crafting wines that express the individuality of each vineyard site. Ignis is sourced from a low-yielding vineyard in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, where decomposed granite soils and strong maritime influences produce Pinot Noir with exceptional purity, perfume, and finesse. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in French oak with a restrained approach, the wine emphasizes elegance, transparency, and terroir expression. Collectors looking to buy Storm Ignis Pinot Noir 2023 will recognize it as one of South Africa's benchmark cool-climate Pinot Noirs and one of the finest expressions of the variety outside Burgundy.
