Located in the Hemel-en-Aarde on petrified sand dunes, Ataraxia was founded in 2004 by husband and wife team Kevin and Hanli Grant. A former Zoologist, Kevin spent years getting to know the intricacies of Hemel-en-Aarde`s terroir as head winemaker of Hamilton Russel. Ataraxia is a deeply personal project for Kevin. along with some dear friends, he purchased 50 hectares of prime vineyard land in an exceptional landscape, known as `The Skyfields`. Nestled on this commanding rise beneath the soaring Babylons Toren mountain range, the vineyards are planted on some of the most spectacular terroir South Africa has to offer.
On the nose, Ataraxia Pinot Noir offers aromas of dark berries, plum, and baking spices. On the palate, this wine is complex with flavors of sweet, ripe fruit, and subtle oak notes. The tannins are smooth, and the wine finishes with a long, satisfyingly rich taste.
