2020 Reserve Pinot Noir, Creation Wine Republic

2020 Reserve Pinot Noir, Creation

Walker Bay, South Africa

Deep ruby with garnet hints, this Pinot Noir opens with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and autumn spice, layered with forest floor and subtle oak. The palate is rich yet elegant, satin-smooth fruit framed by fine tannins and a persistent, savoury finish.

For when: the playlist is vinyl and the lighting is warm.
Pairs with: roast quail, beetroot, or thyme-scented duck.
If this wine were knitwear, it’d be cashmere with structure.

Older-vine parcels and longer élevage define the Reserve Pinot Noir, giving it depth and complexity. It’s a wine that captures Hemel-en-Aarde’s signature freshness but adds the richness and longevity of careful barrel work

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.

50% of the fruit was vinified as whole bunch, adding complexity, in large foudres. The wine was matured for 12 months in 25% new French oak and 75% in second and third fill French oak barrels.
