WINE DESCRIPTION

Creation Reserve Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by Creation Wines, a renowned winery located in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge appellation of South Africa. The vineyard features a unique terroir with a cool maritime climate and shale-derived soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves handpicking and whole-bunch pressing the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels for 10 months. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced expression of Chardonnay, with aromas of citrus and stone fruit, a creamy texture, and a long, elegant finish. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a refined and complex white wine.

The wine has a crisp acidity that is balanced by a subtle oakiness, leading to a long and pleasing finish.

Region: Walker Bay

Walker Bay is a wine region located in the Western Cape of South Africa. It is situated in the coastal area of the Overberg district, between the towns of Hermanus and Stanford. The region is known for its cool climate and unique terroir, which produces some of the country's most acclaimed wines. Walker Bay has a long and rich history of winemaking, dating back to the early 1800s. The first vineyards were planted by French Huguenots, who settled in the area and began producing wines from the local grapes. In the late 19th century, the region was further developed by the Dutch settlers, who brought with them their own winemaking techniques and traditions. Today, Walker Bay is one of South Africa's most important wine regions, with over 200 wineries and vineyards. The region is renowned for its cool climate and unique terroir, which produces some of the country's most acclaimed Burgundian-styled Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
