Creation Viognier: Vivaldi in a Glass

Joyful and vivacious with tempting aromas of apricot, white peach and coconut wafting from the glass. Mild and creamy on the palate yet blossoming forth with bright stone-fruit enhanced by a sprinkling of spice, fresh minerality and tongue-tingling crispness. 

Yes, we’re speaking of the Creation Viognier, a wine reminiscent of a walk through the Creation fynbos garden in springtime. Or Vivaldi’s Spring Concerto!

A Feast for Springtime 

Sometimes referred to as ‘the Goddess of Spice’, Viognier serves as a fantastic foil to the fragrant, aromatic spices of traditional curried fish. The dish highlights the freshness and minerality of the cool-climate Creation Viognier and the combination is simply delicious! The wine also makes music with fruity desserts such as the sensational Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake, Naartjie and Saffron Compote, Turmeric Latte and Coconut Foam recently created by the Creation Culinary Team. The citrus beautifully offsets the stone fruit in the wine, the saffron and turmeric harmonise with the sprinkling of spice while the latte with coconut foam finds its match in the creamy character and hint of coconut in the wine.
