Creation Glenn's Chardonnay, Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge 2024

White Wine from South Africa - Cape South Coast
0 star rating 0 Reviews
Glenn is Carolyn and Jean-Claude (JC) Martin’s son – and Glenn’s Chardonnay comes from the same vineyard as Creation’s The Art of Chardonnay in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, debuting with the 2020 vintage which was his first year (properly) in the cellar with JC. Representing a different interpretation of the same block, it is entirely wild-fermented and made in even smaller quantities than The Art. Wonderfully tangy and energetic, with green-apple skin and a salted lemon core, this is both a more savoury and nervier expression of chardonnay than its sibling, with just-ripe white peach fruit and white-miso undertones on the long, flinty finish. It wears its oak subtly and is already complex and exciting.

Rich and lightly tropical with waves of gorgeously tangy acidity on the palate, counterpointed by fresh butter and salted sourdough. It needs a year to settle, but this is a powerful, concentrated style with plenty of personality for those who like a bit of tension and drama in their Chardonnay.

Bready, vintage-champagne-like on the nose. Dried apples, citron, kumquat and sour cherry with a little blackcurrant bud giving minty-blue freshness. Origami texture. So fresh but with serious undertow...

Bready, vintage-champagne-like on the nose. Dried apples, citron, kumquat and sour cherry with a little blackcurrant bud giving minty-blue freshness. Origami texture. So fresh but with serious undertow and substance. Horizontal-linear precision with lemony zigzags and minty clouds. A strikingly distinctive Chardonnay that you could drink now with enormous pleasure but it has the structure to age. JancisRobinson.com
