Visitors to the Cape’s Hemel-an-Aarde region will inevitable have made a beeline to Creation. It is, hands-down, an essential stop in that picturesque pocket of the country. If you haven’t been, put it on the list – and, in the interim, get familiar with the goodies they produce.
Why we love it:
The folks at Creation have a knack for balancing old-world romance with modern precision – there’s a reason they have a stellar reputation for top-tier cool-climate chardonnay. Set high on the Hemel-en-Aarde slopes, the estate’s focus is firmly on expressing place. In this particular bottle you can expect citrus blossom, ripe pear and a hint of white peach, with a subtle lift of minerality running through and a gentle touch of oak. It makes a compelling case, all puns intended!
