Ataraxia Sauvignon Blanc 2023

R178.00

Region: Hemel-En-Aarde

Tasting note:

Their cool-climate, alchemy-free unwooded white wine celebrates the virtues of vivacity, elegance, and finesse. Most importantly, it is primarily an expression – an interpretation – of the free-draining Table Mountain Sandstone soils on which the vines are planted. In a sense the Sauvignon Blanc grape is merely the chosen vehicle to express these soils. Our Sauvignon Blanc is therefore a vin de terroir (wine of the soil). Seamlessly incorporating the very best that the Old and New World styles have to offer, favouring salinity, brininess and minerality ahead of pure, pungent fruit, it is a wine of substantial poise, length, and charm.

In 2004, The Skyfields Farm was visioned into the Ataraxia wine label when husband and wife, Kevin and Hanli Grant and a few friends purchased this forty-seven hectare prime vineyard property in the beautiful Hemel-en-Aarde wine-growing area. Situated within the Walker Bay wine region, Hemel-en-Aarde lies west of Cape Agulhas, Africa’s southernmost tip. Orientated on an east/west axis it is approximately 35km long and covers some of the most dramatically beautiful terrain in the Western Cape. With its close proximity to the South Atlantic Ocean, the climate is particularly mild, ideal for growing cooler-climate loving grapes. There are fourteen soil types on Ataraxia derived from the deposits of Table Mountain Sandstone, Cape Granite and Bokkeveld Shale. Collectively, these deposits make up the geology of the Hemel-en-Aarde area and can be traced back more than 1000 million years.
Greek for ‘a serene state of mind, free from worry and preoccupation’, Ataraxia lives up to the hype and almost two decades on they are associated with crafting wines of incredible finesse, balance and depth; wines that proudly hold their own on the international wine stage.
