Tasting notes

The Reserve Chardonnay has a good nose with plenty of good things going for it. The Chardonnay begins with a classic expression of French oak, tropical fruit, fresh pomaceous tree fruit and a delicious candied citrus expression. On the palate, the use of French oak shines through more noticeably, reminding me of something from the Russian River Valley in California. Medium-bodied, the wine has a structure that is balanced with bright, fresh acidity, ending with a long finish.

About this wine

Introducing the Chardonnay Reserve from Creation, a wine that is sure to delight your senses with its rich and complex taste profile. This wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the cool climate of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in South Africa, where the ocean breeze and the unique terroir combine to create the perfect conditions for growing Chardonnay grapes.

The Chardonnay Reserve is a wine that truly showcases the artistry and skill of the winemakers at Creation. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 10 months, which gives it a rich and creamy texture, as well as subtle notes of vanilla and spice. On the nose, you will detect aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and citrus, which are complemented by hints of toasted almond and butterscotch.

On the palate, the Chardonnay Reserve is full-bodied and complex, with a perfect balance of acidity and fruitiness. You will taste flavors of ripe pear, apple, and lemon, which are layered with hints of honey and caramel. The wine has a long and lingering finish, with a touch of minerality that adds to its complexity.

The Chardonnay Reserve is produced by Creation, a family-owned winery that is known for its commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Today, the winery is run by their son, JC, who continues to push the boundaries of winemaking with his innovative approach.

This wine is perfect for pairing with rich and creamy dishes, such as lobster bisque, chicken alfredo, or mushroom risotto. It also pairs well with grilled fish, roasted chicken, or pork tenderloin. The Chardonnay Reserve is a wine that is meant to be savored and enjoyed with good company, whether you are relaxing at home or dining out at a fine restaurant.
