At the moment the talk of the town is Chardonnay. And that includes the launch of Creation’s first (2016) Reserve Chardonnay, the upcoming Hemel-en-Aarde Classic Chardonnay Celebration and also the recent De Wetshof Chardonnay Celebration.

At the latter event the US wine writer and novelist Jay McInerney had the following to say: “… Chardonnay comes in a huge variety of styles ranging from lean and stony to opulent and tropical; metaphorically speaking it runs the gamut from Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy, from anorexic to sumo wrestler, from raw oysters to poached lobster, from Zen to Baroque, from Botero to Modigliani.”

This reminds one of the variety of Chardonnays produced under the Creation label. With the release of the Creation Reserve Chardonnay the estate now offers three, the others being the Creation Chardonnay and the Art of Creation Chardonnay. While they all elegantly reflect our cooler climate, there are exciting differences in personality.
