Tasting Note

An intriguing range extension from Chardonnay maestro Kevin Grant, this was fermented on its skins before ageing in older wood. Unusual, waxy and slightly tannic, with supporting acidity, lovely minerality and a savoury tang

Product Notes

Ataraxia Skin Contact Chardonnay is a unique and vibrant wine that exudes elegance and finesse. Made from handpicked grapes that undergo a meticulous skin-contact process, this wine showcases a beautiful golden color with aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and honeydew melon. On the palate, it offers a rich and creamy texture with flavors of citrus zest, white flowers, and a hint of baking spice. The extended skin contact gives the wine a slight grip and a subtle tannic structure, adding depth and complexity to the overall profile. Enjoy this Chardonnay on its own or paired with roasted chicken or seafood dishes for a truly indulgent experience.

About the Winery

Ataraxia

Established in 2004, Ataraxia is a boutique winery located in the scenic area of Walker Bay in South Africa. The idea for the winery was conceptualised when a couple purchased 50 hectares of vineyards along with their friends. These vineyards were located at an elevated level at the backdrop of Babylons Toren Mountain Range. Therefore, the soil quality and the climate of these vineyards were perfect for growing the choicest quality of grapes.
