Description

2023 Storm Pinot Noir 'Ignis,' Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, South AfricaIgnis Pinot Noir comes from a northern slope in the Upper Hemel en Aarde Valley. The vineyard, organically farmed, features a surface of round pebbles over decomposed granite. The name "Ignis," Latin for "fire," reflects the granite's igneous origins. With enticing aromas of watermelon and wild strawberry, this wine also features a hint of granitic grip, spicy oak, and a refreshing finish.
