Ataraxia Pinot Noir

R420.00

The wine has an intriguing luminous hue that reflects rather than absorbs light. The svelte nose offers up a fine blend of red cherries, pomegranate, delicate forest floor and a hint of spice and new oak. On the palate the wine is sensual and embracing, with a captivating midpalate depth, lovely transparency and excellent focus on the suavely-tannic finish.

Description

THE WINES OF KEVIN GRANT

WINE OF ORIGIN: HEMEL-EN-AARDE RIDGE

Winemaker’s Notes:

Grapes were hand-picked into small crates and then sorted, destemmed and gently crushed at the cellar. A 10-day pre-fermentation cold soak period in open fermenters was followed by a temperature-controlled ferment, peaking at 28°C for a total cuvaison of 22 days. The cap was gently punched down twice a day during alcoholic fermentation. The wine was then pressed and racked to carefully-selected French oak barrels, 22% of which were new and where 100% malolactic fermentation occurred. Then aged in barrels for 11 months before being bottled.
