Creation Chardonnay 2017

Walker Bay and the Hemel-en-Aarde valley nearby the whale-watching town of Hermanus, is a relatively recent addition to South Africa’s exciting wine topography, with great potential for cooler climate styles not commonly found elsewhere in the country.

A fruit-forward wine with aroma and flavour of quince, pear and peach, and a fresh minerality, with a hint of vanilla. A pleasing acidity and lively finish. Grapes were fermented and then matured for 10 months in 30% new and 70% 2nd or 3rd use barrels, stirring every 2 weeks.
