Creation Wines in the South African Wine Region of Walker Bay, Hemel-en-Aarde, to be precise makes some extraordinary, world-class wines. Here in Hemel-en-Aarde, heaven on earth, every dawn brings an exciting new challenge and innovation is a way of life. This trendsetting spirit has shaped Carolyn and Jean-Claude Martin’s vision and identity, resulting in a living, thinking wine estate pulsing with collective energy and creativity.
The name ‘Creation’ is a tribute to the favorable wine-growing conditions on the farm. It also refers to the fact that Jean-Claude and Carolyn were the very first to establish virus-free vineyards on the farm. Last but not least, it reflects the undaunted spirit of renewal.
The Creation narrative is also one of many challenges faced and overcome, by sheer hard work and, in line with our evocative name, constant innovation. When they harvested the first grapes in 2006, the quality was fantastic, especially that of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Their cellar was completed in the same year with the tasting room following in November 2008.
Today, two decades after the first fledgling vine took root, Creation clearly lives up to its name. Creative thinking and trendsetting solutions have positioned it among the Top Ten of the World’s Best Vineyards and Number One in Africa.
