About this Item
100% Pinot noir
Wine of Origin: Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge
Winemaker: Kevin Grant
This marks Kevin Grant’s inaugural Ataraxia Pinot Noir auction release — a single-vineyard wine made from a singular, peerless grape variety grown according to organic principles. Vinified along traditional Burgundian lines, including 20% whole-bunch fermentation, this wine is a precise, terroir-expressive Pinot Noir, distinguished by its structural elegance, aromatic purity, and layered complexity.
Tasting Notes: Elegant and finely boned. The silky yet vibrant palate is layered with impressive fruit, fine-grained tannin and a cool-climate freshness. It reflects Ataraxia's terroir with clarity and precision.
Ready for drinking now until at least 2035.
