The Ataraxia Pinot Noir presents itself in the glass with a fascinating hue, which reflects the light rather than absorbing it. The gracefully elegant bouquet offers seductive aromas of red cherries, aromatic pomegranates, wet forest soil and a touch of fine spices and new oak. On the palate, this wine is incredibly sensual and poignant with a captivating depth, wonderful transparency and an excellent focus on a smooth, soft tannin structure in the finish.

The grapes for the Ataraxia Pinot Noir were harvested by hand, sorted with great care, destemmed and then gently crushed. This was followed by a 10-day cold swelling phase in open fermentation tanks, after which the 22-day fermentation process took place at a regulated 28°C. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed into selected French oak barrels, 21% of which were new wood. The wine matured for a total of 11 months in French barriques.
