Creation The Art of Pinot Noir, Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge 2024
Red Wine from South Africa - Cape South Coast
From Creation’s oldest vineyard in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, this 22-year-old virus-free pinot noir block will likely become the oldest pinot in South Africa, according to Jean-Claude Martin. A mini-vertical of six vintages, from the 2019 through to the 2024, illustrated what fantastic terroir this is, just next door to Crystallum’s Cuvée Cinéma vineyard, on decomposed Bokkeveld shale. The 2024 was one of the highlights in what was a superb line-up; wonderfully perfumed with rose petals and potpourri, orange zest and pink grapefruit. Fine-boned, medium-bodied and supremely elegant pinot, with such brightness and clarity of red fruit, and enlivening acidity. While the five- to six-year-old vintages show that a savoury, sous-bois character emerges here with bottle age, this is all about pure, precise primary fruit at this young stage, with subtly integrated new oak bringing a sprinkling of sweet spice and luxuriant texture.
