Tasting Note

A refined and notably precise vintage, 2026 produced grapes with excellent natural acidity, fine phenolic ripeness, and lifted aromatics. In contrast to recent years, it favours purity and tension over power. A mild spring ensured an even, generous fruit set, while a moderately warm, dry summer, largely free of heat spikes, and despite late-February rains, allowed for steady, uninterrupted ripening.

Product Notes

Ataraxia Sauvignon Blanc is a quintessentially aromatic South African wine. It is beautifully expressed and elegantly well-rounded. Perfumes of elderflower, passion fruit, gooseberry, and green pepper effortlessly waft from the glass. Its palate, terse and tense, is well-tailored, boasting bright acidity and intricate texture. The flavours are subtle, offering an evocative citrus undertone. The wine's finish, superbly long and refreshingly crisp, accentuates its finesse. Ideal for classy dinner gatherings, Ataraxia Sauvignon Blanc wine is well-created to be sipped and savoured with seafood or white poultry dishes. The lush complexities of this wine highlight the beauty of South African viniculture.
