產品介紹
Storm酒莊:
位於Walker Bay區的Hemel-En-Aarde子產區，因受到本格拉寒流的影響，此處氣候相當涼爽，即使是炎熱的夏天，最高溫也大約介於攝氏23度到25度之間，也是整個開普敦當中氣候最為冷涼的優異產區。
全採用手工採摘葡萄並全數去梗，並在開放式大桶中冷浸泡 10 天，使用原生酵母發酵和選用與D.R.C.同廠的橡木桶陳釀 11 個月，其中28%是新桶，裝瓶前不進行過濾與澄清。
Ignis 在拉丁語中意為「烈火」，而這裡的Ignis 指的是此處獨特的花崗岩土壤。
來自Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley產區，海拔約225公尺；土壤表面散佈著圓形鵝卵石，底層則是風化後的花崗岩土。
使用 D.R.C. 指定桶廠François Frères的橡木桶(25%新桶)陳釀11個月，隨後瓶中再存放約15個月。
此款酒散發成熟櫻桃、波森莓與李子香氣，口感細膩，酸度明亮而令人垂涎，餘韻伴隨可可與森林地表風味。

Instantly impressive on the nose, the 2017 Ignis Pinot Noir overflows with focus and precision, boasting of ripe cherry, fresh strawberry and fresh rosehip that move on to nuances of oak with soft baking spices and structured mineral tones. The palate is elegant with a red-fruited stage that is focused and finessed. I don’t want to put my glass down. It’s sexy. Medium-bodied, the wine ends with a complex and structured finished. 3,000 bottles were made from Pinot that saw 11 months in Burgundy coopered French oak barrels, of which 30% were brand new. Give this a try, if you enjoy fine Pinot.
