Description

Creation Viognier

Grape varietal & region: 100% Viognier from a vineyard in the highly acclaimed Walker Bay wine region. Creation was the first in the Hemel-en-Aarde with a Viognier vineyard. The vines for grow in a cool, south-facing slope, which is ideal for the cultivation of Viognier. The vineyard has an altitude of 350 metres and rich clay and loam soil composition.

Taste profile: Tastes like peaches and cream. Creation Viognier 2020 is joyful and vivacious, like a walk through the fynbos garden in springtime or Vivaldi's Spring Concerto! Clear and shiny pale gold colour. Abundantly fruity yet refine bouquet of white peaches, ripe pear and honeysuckle florals. We think it tastes like peaches and cream ice cream! The smooth palate has a distinctive white peach and apricot flavour that mingles seamlessly with a rich and creamy mouthfeel, crisp minerality and bouncy acidity.

Winemaking process: After a manual harvest, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at 15°C without malolactic fermentation. The wine then matures on fine lees for 2–3 months before bottling.

Delicious as an aperitif! Drink now with Vivaldi's Spring Concerto playing in the background, or keep until 2022.

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
