Walker Bay, South Africa

Or as we call it – “The Red Whisper”

Ruby-hued with aromas of wild strawberry, cherry, and rose petal, this Pinot Noir is pure Hemel-en-Aarde elegance. Subtle spice, tea leaf, and graphite notes frame a palate that is silken and finely structured. The finish is long, lifted, and transparent, whispering rather than shouting.

For when: subtlety says more than volume.
Pairs with: duck breast, porcini risotto, or soy-glazed salmon.
If this wine were a film, it’d be beautifully shot and quietly devastating.

Creation’s flagship Pinot Noir comes from the estate’s most carefully chosen parcels. Gentle extraction and thoughtful oak use allow purity and place to shine, making this a true benchmark for South African Pinot.

Winemaking
Tech Stuff

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.

Hand-picked during the cool of the morning, 60% of the fruit was vinified as whole bunch which underwent spontaneous fermentation in large foudres. Maturation took place in 33% new, 67% second-fill French oak barrels for 12 months. The barrels were carefully selected, and this wine was made in limited quantities.
