The Ataraxia Serenity is a wine that has received very special attention. Wine whisperer Kevin Grant has realized a great idea!

He is proud to create a tribute to this unique South African identification grape variety after years of calm and patient experimentation. As a blend, this exciting and sexy wine is as South African as you can imagine.

Serenity 2016 is an exciting cuvée of 25% Pinot Noir, 25% Cincault and 50% Pinotage from cooler growing regions of the Western Cape.
"In
recent years", says Kevin "more precisely since 2006, I have been fascinated by the idea of a Cool Climate Pinotage blended with his parent grapes. For Serenity

2016, each variety has been harvested at optimal maturity and fermented separately with due care. The needs of each grape variety were meticulously taken into account!
Each variety was then allowed to mature in small (225 l) French oak barrels before being blended together. All three components contributed with their peculiarities and individuality.
The quiet "whispering" has become a bit louder, he is more than a Pinot Noir. A wine with elaborate curves and captivating structure. This virgin vintage of the Serenity blend was always about a very specific style, not about percentage composition of the different grape varieties. It
is about a careful "whisper" and the wine whisperer Kevin has combined seductively inviting aromas and created a dreamlike new Serenity. A deliciously spicy and powerful wine with seductive nuances of fragrant tobacco, red berry fruit and well-integrated oak notes!

Treatment in the cellar

The different grape varieties were hand-picked, sorted with great care, lightly crushed in open fermentation tanks and subjected to a 7-10 day cold swelling phase on the skin. Before fermentation was completed, the wine was transferred to the press and the wine was transferred separately by grape variety to barrels where the malolactic fermentation was completed. The wine then matured for 11 months in selected French barriques, 32% of which were new wood or first wood. After 11 months of maturing, the different grape varieties were blended and bottled for the final enjoyment.
