  2021 Chardonnay, Creation

  £2300

  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.

  A chic, cool-climate Chardonnay with glorious layers of sun-kissed pear and peach enhanced by fresh minerality and hints of spice. Full of finesse and elegance.

  The Chardonnay blocks are planted at 270m above sea level. The influence of the Atlantic Ocean’s Benguela current brings cooling south-easterly breezes to the area, as do clouds hemmed in by the surrounding mountains, trapping cool air and moisture in the narrow Hemel-en-Aarde.

  2023 Reserve Chardonnay, Creation

  £3695

  Pale gold in colour, this Chardonnay shows aromas of Meyer lemon, peach, and almond cream with delicate oak spice. The palate is rich yet finely etched – citrus and stone fruit layered with hazelnut and a creamy mid-palate. Bracing acidity from Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge carries everything into a long, chalky, mineral finish.

  For when: dinner deserves a headliner.
  Pairs with: butter-roast chicken, lobster, or wild mushroom pasta.
  If this wine were a watch, it’d be a classic that never dates.

  Creation’s Reserve Chardonnay is drawn from high-altitude sites where cool nights preserve acidity and slow ripening builds depth. Barrel fermentation and bâtonnage add texture, but the winemaking remains focused on restraint and balance. The result is a benchmark cool-climate Chardonnay.

  2022 Art Of Chardonnay, Creation

  £6900

  Or as we call it – “The Quiet Luxury”

  Straw-gold with luminous clarity, this flagship Chardonnay opens with citrus, pear, and hazelnut aromas, lifted by subtle oak toast. Concentrated yet weightless, the palate delivers layers of orchard fruit, lemon curd, and almond cream over a taut, mineral core. The finish is long, elegant, and endlessly composed.

  For when: you’re in reflective, candle-lit, long-conversation mode.
  Pairs with: turbot, scallops, or truffle risotto.
  If this wine were a room, it’d be oak, linen, and soft light.

  The Art of Chardonnay represents Creation’s pinnacle selection of fruit from its finest sites. Each barrel is tasted and chosen with meticulous care, highlighting finesse over power. It is a wine built for ageing, revealing the ultimate expression of Hemel-en-Aarde terroir.
