Creation Wines2024 Sauvignon Blanc, Creation
Walker Bay, South AfricaVintage: 2024
“The Sea-Mist Spritz”
Bright pale straw with a green shimmer, this Sauvignon Blanc brims with lime zest, gooseberry, and crushed nettle aromas. A subtle saline edge hints at the nearby Atlantic. The palate is juicy and energetic – citrus and tropical notes framed by mouth-watering acidity and a mineral, icy finish.
For when: the day needs a reset button.
Pairs with: oysters, ceviche, or a crisp green salad with goat’s cheese.
If this wine were weather, it’d be an ocean breeze at 5pm.
The maritime Walker Bay climate defines this wine: cool mornings, sunlit afternoons, and steady sea breezes. At Creation, fruit is harvested with precision and fermented at low temperatures to capture purity. A touch of lees ageing adds depth without compromising Sauvignon’s crisp personality.

Description
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 Sauvignon Blanc 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 three months in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees
