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 an exceptional wine from South Africa, showcasing its distinctive regional characteristics. Displaying a lustrous lemon hue, it captivates with intoxicating scents of ripe tropical fruits, subtle grassy undertones, and a hint of gooseberry. On the palate, Ataraxia offers a harmonious fusion of zesty citrus flavours, a searing minerality and a refreshing acidity that lends a beguiling lightness. This wine concludes with a persistent finish, leaving an invigorating, crisp aftertaste. Perfect for warm summer evenings, Ataraxia Sauvignon Blanc embodies the quintessence of fine white wine.
