Information about "Ataraxia Serenity 2020"
The Ataraxia Serenity has been crafted with exceptional care, reflecting the artistry of winemaker Kevin Grant. This distinctive blend pays homage to South Africa’s unique varietal identity, capturing a sense of serenity.
Since 2006, Grant has been captivated by the notion of a 'cool climate' Pinotage combined with its ancestral grapes. This blend is the result of years of meticulous experimentation. Each grape variety was hand-picked at optimal ripeness and subsequently underwent separate fermentation, respecting its individuality. Maturing in small 225L French oak barrels, this vintage showcases a wine that transcends the typical Pinot Noir boundaries. The 2021 Serenity brings forth a harmonious profile, with alluring aromas of fragrant tobacco, ripe red berries, and finely integrated oak flavors.
Hand-harvested grapes underwent meticulous sorting and were lightly crushed in open fermentation tanks. Following a 7-10 day cold maceration, the wine was pressed and transferred separately into barrels for malolactic fermentation. The wine matured for 11 months in carefully selected French barriques, with 32% being new or first-fill wood. Afterward, the blends were assembled and bottled for your enjoyment.
