Ataraxia Skin Fermented Chardonnay 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Hemel-en-Aarde
R650
‘Straw yellow in colour, the nose shows citrus plus some yeasty, nutty notes. The palate, meanwhile, has good fruit concentration, bright acidity and an intensely salty finish. It’s not too grippy, a certain pithiness in evidence. Not for the uninitiated but equally carefully considered and hardly outlandish.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
‘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. 2021-24’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 92/100
