Info
Voted best vineyard in South Africa & 3rd best in the world.
Single vineyard Syrah, produced in the well sought-after maritime terroir of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, Western Cape, South Africa.

Tasting Notes
Dense, deep in color, almost black; flashes of royal purple and a spark of red – shiny and multi-dimensional like a polished garnet. A generously aromatic wine impressing with maraschino cherry and peppery spice interwoven with whiffs of violet. Lusciously ripe on the silky palate, yet with vibrant minerality to offer exciting complexity. Lingering echoes of anise and clove add to the allure.
Varietals
100% Syrah
Food Pairing
Grilled Meats: Lamb chops, beef tenderloin, grilled sausages.

Winery info
The story of Creation Wines is as old as the hills – dating back to when Mother Nature created South Africa's beautiful Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge and bestowed upon it exceptional winegrowing conditions. At the same time our story is as young as our state-of-the-art winery and as vibrant as our inspired team who contribute their passion and expertise to create a unique and authentic, terroir-expressive experience.
This wine selection has its roots in the famous winelands of Neuchatel in Switzerland, where two young Swiss winemakers forged a close friendship during the 1990s. Enter Jean-Claude Martin and Christoph Kaser who at the time were employed at the ancient wineries of Grillette and Hopital de Soleure. By the rustic Heme-en-Aarde road that winds its way along the slopes and valleys of the scenic Bablyon Toren Mountain lay a small, undulating tract of virgin land, perfectly suited to winegrowing, yet never planted to vines before. With Swiss precision, Jean-Claude selected 22 hectares of prime land to establish virus-free strains of the finest varietal clones. Meticulously chosen for their suitability to the soil and prevailing maritime conditions, the young vines soon flourished, yielding flavourful grapes of exceptional quality.
The area known as "Hemel-en-Aarde" falls under the appellation of Walker Bay, 120km Southeast of Cape Town. Fringing the south-western shores of the Atlantic Ocean, this highly acclaimed wine ward is among the coolest in South Africa. Here, the refreshing sea breezes off Walker Bay together with ideal soil compositions create winegrowing conditions rivalling the world's finest.
Ever since their first harvest 2006, Creation has continuously produced world class wines, and recently was voted Number 1 best Vineyard in Africa, and 3rd best in the world.
