Ataraxia Earthborn Organic Chardonnay 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Hemel-en-Aarde
R650
‘Even better than the regular Chardonnay - and that's high praise - this organically farmed white hails from a 0.9-hectare parcel on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Fermented in 15% new barrels, with no malolactic or lees stirring, it's a rich, concentrated yet beautifully balanced style, all white flowers, oatmeal and lemon butter with a dusting of patisserie spices. 2024-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 95/100
‘This organic release is exceptional in its accurate and honesty reflection of soil and place. Fermented in 15% new wood, it is taut and focussed with an intriguing tang of tangerine peel, lemongrass flavours and subtle spices. Its structure is the most impressive of all: linear and minerally with extraordinary depth and length. An exciting wine.’ – Winemaker
