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 2022 were picked on the 6th March a week earlier than the late harvest of the previous year. It was the culmination of another exceptional season. Small berries ensured concentrated fruit which has produced a wine with substantially concentrated and satisfying aromas and flavours.

Hand-picked and triaged in the vineyard, all our fruit was safely in the cellar by mid-morning, guaranteeing that the exciting fruit flavours of the grape were preserved and are now beautifully articulated 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.
