The Cool-Climate Chenin Blanc by Creation: A Walker Bay Masterpiece

Creation Wines presents a benchmark Cool-Climate Chenin Blanc, a sophisticated dry white wine that beautifully captures the essence of the Walker Bay region. The vineyard's proximity to the Atlantic ensures a unique maritime freshness, yielding a wine of exceptional purity, focus, and intricate complexity.

Tasting Notes (Current Vintage)

• Colour: A luminous pale straw, with the slightest hint of gold.
• Nose: An elegant bouquet of fresh orchard fruit, notably crispy quince and green apple, intertwined with vibrant citrus notes and a subtle, savoury complexity of ginger and wet stone minerality.
• Palate: Expect a lively, focused attack with a thrillingly fresh acidity. The texture is refined and creamy, a result of careful maturation on the lees in old French barrels and concrete eggs. This Chenin is concentrated yet pure, delivering a long and satisfying mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing & Service

This premium white is a sommelier's dream for pairing. Serve lightly chilled (10°C-12°C). It’s a stylish accompaniment to classic seafood dishes and refined poultry preparations. A true statement wine from South Africa.
