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.
Pinnacle of Creation Wines line-up and of the Walker Bay region, this wine is made from a single block and perfectly expresses the terroir. Selection is further made by barrel, and finally each bottle is individually numbered. This Chardonnay has an elegant aroma of fresh lime and blackcurrant, with a hint of butterscotch and almonds. A very smooth and balanced flavour of vanilla beans, peach stones, pear along with a hint of white pepper, and a lively minerality. Grapes were fermented and then matured for 10 months in 50% new and 50% 2nd use barrels, stirring every 2 weeks.
