About this Item

Pinot Noir & Chardonnay 2016–2021
2 (1 x 2) 1500ml
Ataraxia Pinot Noir 2017 (1 x 1500ml)
Selected from a tiny bottling of just 50 magnums, this Pinot noir 2017 magnum (Bottle number 12/50) is the consummate reflection of a terroir ideally suited to a grape variety peerless in its ability to express the concept of earth so accurately and authentically. In this wine, one can taste Ataraxia's dirt! Possessing an alluring luminous colour with hues that reflect rather than absorb light, this "sleek by design" wine is sensual and embracing with the ability to age for many, many years to come. It also holds the immediate promise to keep one company and to exchange anecdotes and stories throughout an evening!

Ataraxia Chardonnay 2016 - 2021 (6 x 750ml)
Rarely does owner/winemaker Kevin Grant assemble a collection of wines from Ataraxia's Wine Library. And NEVER has he curated a case featuring these six extraordinary vintages of Ataraxia's internationally acclaimed Chardonnays. Each vintage has captured a specific "time in a bottle" that reflects the vagaries, challenges, and eventual rich rewards of each of the featured harvests. Yet, the golden thread of Ataraxia's specially and unique terroir which differentiates and lifts these wines above the ordinary, is interwoven and apparent in each wine - extraordinary purity and minerality over a taught, athletic frame, supported by a beautiful palate, and substantial and lingering aftertaste.
