Tasting notes
The Creation 2024 Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge The Art of Pinot Noir comes across as lean and somewhat one-dimensional, leaving you wanting more. Aromatically, it shows dark berry notes with hints of blue flower and cola, carried by good freshness through a mild, gently tapering finish. Some 60% whole-bunch fruit is used. The wine is fermented and aged for 12 months in a mix of new and second-fill barrels, and it represents a focused selection of fruit from a small pocket within a larger single vineyard planted on Bokkeveld shale and clay loam. Production totals 4,550 bottles.

About this wine
The 2019 The Art of Pinot Noir has a picturesque, bursting-from-the-glass nose of fresh, crunchy red fruit with bright, high-toned red florals and seductive notes of cinnamon and turned earth. Medium-bodied, fine-grained and balanced with succulent acidity, the wine somersaults across the palate with precision and finesse before concluding with a long, lingering, spicy finish. Nicely done!
