Product Description:
The Ataraxia Chardonnay is undoubtedly one of South Africa's finest Chardonnays! A New World wine by origin, yet with the classic Old World style. A hand-chiseled masterpiece that effortlessly manages to be subtly understated and immensely intense at the same time. Penetrating and deep on the palate, yet graceful and harmoniously balanced. Its powerful mineral acidity is superbly balanced by a subtle yet captivating fruit intensity. Its classic length, creaminess, and seductive complexity distinguish this stylish, world-class Chardonnay!

Vinifikation
Crafted using uncomplicated (not simple) winemaking techniques, this is an athletic, chiseled and precise wine. It embraces the very grown-up flavours of salinity, savouriness and minerality, all of which define the great and classic white wines of the world. As is standard practice in the making of Ataraxia Chardonnay, a minimalist, non-interventionist approach to winemaking was embraced, aimed at reflecting the sense of place and the expression of terroir. This wine is 100% barrel fermented and carefully nurtured in specially selected small French oak barriques, sourced exclusively from Burgundian coopers. Fortnightly batonnage was employed during the 10-month maturation period.
