2023 Viognier, Creation

Walker Bay, South Africa

“The Silk & Sunshine”

Pale straw with a golden glint, this Viognier is pure radiance in a glass. Aromas of ripe apricot, peach and orange blossom spill out, lifted by citrus zest and a touch of spice. On the palate it’s supple and textural, with luscious stone fruit unfolding over a line of bright, coastal acidity. Rich yet perfectly poised, it finishes long, floral, and refreshing.

For when: you want a white that’s both flirty and composed.
Pairs with: Thai prawns, roast chicken, or apricots with soft cheese.
If this wine were fabric, it’d be satin with a crisp hem.

Creation sits high on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge overlooking Walker Bay, a site defined by ocean breezes, cool nights, and fynbos-clad hills. These conditions allow Viognier to achieve its signature perfume while retaining vibrancy and focus, with cellar precision ensuring elegance and balance.

It was in 2002, that Swiss-born winemaker Jean-Claude Martin and his South African wife, Carolyn discovered their little piece of paradise on the cool-climate, Hemel-enAarde Ridge of South Africa’s acclaimed Walker Bay. Here, in one of the most biodiverse regions on earth, virus-free vines climb the steep foothills of Babylonstoren Mountain, flourishing in ancient quartzite and clay-rich soils, cooled by breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean. Nature is the very inspiration and innovation that is Creation. Their winemaking philosophy of ‘expressing the beauty of nature’ embraces sustainability to produce a distinctive portfolio of terroir-reflective and site-specific fine wines, notably from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. As WWF Champions and Carbon Heroes, it is their intention to secure their natural heritage for future generations. Their deep-rooted sense of social responsibility has seen talented young people from surrounding communities become highly skilled team members. Their wines receive world-wide acclaim, and Creation was named No. 1 in Africa and No. 3 globally at the 2024 World’s Best Vineyards Awards.

The Viognier grapes were fermented with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks which retained the purity of the fruit and the expression of the cool-climate terroir. The wine spent six months in stainless steel tank on the fine lees.
