Ataraxia Whole Cluster Pinot Noir 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Hemel-en-Aarde
R650
‘This is the second vintage of this whole bunch-fermented Pinot Noir - there was no 2021 release - and it shows the growing focus on the variety at Ataraxia. Sappy, earthy and spicy, it shows an appealing mix between clove, pepper and tobacco leaf aromas and red cherry and redcurrant fruit. 2024-29’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 92/100
‘This wine possesses a heady yet alluring and intriguingly precise aroma profile of bright red fruits, with a spicy, cinnamon, earthy undertone. The palate is focussed and delightfully poised, yet these elements of delicacy are couched in a structure of surprising depth, magnitude, and length. It is a wine for the curious and inquisitive palate.’ – Winemaker
