Our cool-climate, unwooded white wine celebrates vivacity, elegance, and finesse, crafted with minimal winemaking interference. It remains primarily an expression - an interpretation - of the free-draining Table Mountain Sandstone soils on which the vines seem to thrive. The Sauvignon Blanc grape is merely the chosen vehicle to convey the essence of these soils. Hence, our Sauvignon Blanc is a true vin de terroir (wine of the soil). Seamlessly incorporating the best elements if the Old and New World styles, it emphasizes salinity, brininess and minerality ahead of pure, pungent fruit, and is a wine of substantial poise, length, and charm.

Ataraxia

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.
