TASTING NOTES The 2023 Beeslaar Chardonnay exhibits fragrant aromas of citrus fruits and green apples. On the palate, ripe pineapple flavours contrast delicately with the mineral nucleus of the wine. In addition to the delicate acidity that interweaves with the perfectly balanced core, the moderate alcohol content contributes to a palate-pleasing and revitalising finish. VINTAGE CONDITIONS The 2023 season began with mild and dry conditions which had a crucial impact on grape quantity and quality, and ended wet. Drier conditions limited berry mass and subsequently yields, but also ensured outstanding quality. The cool ripening period aided early cultivars. Vigorous growth after the December thunderstorms caused temporary deficiencies which then recovered later in the season. VINIFICATION The grapes were handpicked and...

Ataraxia Chardonnays are made with complete deference to expressing our terroir over trying to conjure an expression of the grape itself through winemaking alchemy. In the quest for accuracy of this expression, spontaneous fermentation comprised part of a minimalist, non-interventionist winemaking approach. This wine is 100% barrel fermented and matured in specially selected small French oak barriques sourced exclusively from Burgundian coopers. The result is a Chardonnay that is New World in provenance but Old World in stylistic leaning. Broad-shouldered but narrow-hipped, it effortlessly manages to be both subtle and intense. An assertive mineral acidity is beautifully balanced by a compelling intensity of fruit. A stylish, world-class Chardonnay.
