Ataraxia Skin Contact Chardonnay 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Hemel-en-Aarde
R650
‘Fermented on skins for 20 days, with a 23% whole bunch component, this is an intriguing take on Chardonnay by Kevin Grant. Intense and slightly funky, it has notes of earth, black tea and orange peel, plenty of underlying zip and energy and very subtle oak. 2023-28’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 93/100
