Sauvignon Blanc

This delicious wine pairs really well with fresh seafood dishes and light chicken based dishes too.

One constant of each vintage is that it will be different from any previous one – the variables of climate guarantee it. Consequently, each vintage is eagerly anticipated and with it, the chance to begin again on a blank canvas. The Sauvignon blanc grapes for Harvest 2020 were picked on the 28th February, 10 days later than the previous vintage, and signalled the culmination of a season that can only be described as exceptional. Small berries ensured concentrated fruit which has produced a wine with substantially concentrated and satisfying aromas and flavours.

Hand-picked and then triaged over a sorting table, all our fruit was safely in the cellar by mid- morning on each picking day, guaranteeing that the exciting fruit flavours of the grape were preserved and are reflected in this wine.

Hemel-en-Aarde is Afrikaans for “heaven and earth” and the claim is justified. Our estate sits on a particularly 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. More than a decade later we are associated with crafting wines of incredible finesse balance and depth; wines that proudly hold their own on the international wine stage.
