Hemel-en-Aarde is Afrikaans for “heaven and earth” and the claim is justified. Our estate sits on a particular
ly heavenly stretch of land beneath a lofty peak of the Babylon’s Tower mountain range. In addition to its unrelenting beauty, Ataraxia is home to some of the most spectacular terroirs South Africa has to offer.
In 2004, The Skyfields Farm was visioned into the Ataraxia wine label when husband and wife, Kevin and Hanli Grant and a few friends purchased this 47-hectare prime vineyard property. Almost two decades on, they are associated with crafting wines of incredible finesse, balance and depth; wines that proudly hold their own on the international wine stage.
TASTING NOTES
The bouquet is well-defined, evoking distant scents of the Mediterranean sea – red plum, marmalade, herbaceous and wild heather. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and fine acidity. Salted liquorice, star anise, dark plum and fig jam form the core of fruit with a linear finish.
