Creation Reserve Pinot Noir 2022
A vineyard selection built on virus-free Dijon clones and a Swiss winemaker's patience with a fickle grape.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir, planted on south-easterly, easterly and north-easterly slopes in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Walker Bay, South Africa. JC Martin, who honed his Pinot Noir skills in Switzerland before relocating to the Cape, selected only virus-free Dijon 115 and 777 clones for their suitability to the terroir, with each slope expressing its own distinct style.
Taste Profile: Elegantly adorned in shades of garnet with deeper flashes of cerise. Exquisitely expressive on the nose, with Indonesian mace blending into fresh raspberry and black cherry. Velvety smooth and beautifully poised on the palate, with great purity of fruit in harmony with crisp acidity and fine tannins.
Winemaking Process: The Reserve is a vineyard selection. The grapes undergo traditional skin fermentation and post-fermentation maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels, with two to three rackings during maturation and light filtration ahead of bottling.
Winemaker: Creation was founded in 2002 by Jean-Claude (JC) Martin, a Swiss-trained winemaker from Neuchâtel who qualified at the Swiss Federal School of Changins in 1995 after deciding to become a winemaker at age 14, inspired by his grandfather Jules Martin, who established the family winery on Lake Bienne in 1935. JC married South African-born Carolyn Finlayson in 1999, daughter of Cape wine pioneer Walter Finlayson and niece of Peter Finlayson, who set up the first winery in the Hemel-en-Aarde in 1980 and now runs Bouchard Finlayson. Visits to Carolyn's home turf convinced JC of the Hemel-en-Aarde's potential, and the couple planted their vines here in 2002, guided by JC's philosophy of "enhancing the beauty of nature" rather than manipulating it in the cellar.
