Storm Wines, founded by Ernst Storm, presents a unique winemaking odyssey spanning South Africa and California. Ernst, a product of Elsenburg Agricultural School in Stellenbosch, honed his skills in diverse regions, from Sierra Foothills to Santa Barbara County. Inspired by a desire for balance, Storm Wines emerged in 2006, emphasizing classic styles and site-driven expressions.
Ernst's tenure at Firestone Winery fueled experimentation, particularly with Sauvignon Blanc. In 2013, he redirected his focus to Storm Wines, amplifying dedication to crafting wines that embody the essence of each vintage and site. While Ernst champions elegance in winemaking, his brother, Hannes, embarked on Storm Wines-South Africa, spotlighting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.
Storm Wines seamlessly weaves Old World inspiration with New World terroir, delivering a distinctive range that reflects Ernst's global winemaking journey.
