With ‘Peak Season’ virtually over, we’re delighted to report that the Creation Tasting Room is still buzzing with activity. And so are our vineyards and cellar!
Vineyard UpdateThe hard work and preparation for the 2014 harvest is starting to pay off, with 50% of the Pinot Noir block having started veraison. Veraison is the growth stage of the vine which sees the transition from berry growth to the onset of ripening and is most noticeable in red grapes varieties as they start to change from green to red. There is a less noticeable change from green to yellow in white cultivars. This stage signals the start of sugar accumulation in the berry and is an important indicator of expected harvest date. In the meantime the grapes are constantly monitored and at full veraison all underdeveloped and totally green bunches will be removed to benefit the final 2014 vintage. Click here to read our blog
Cellar UpdateAt the time of writing the cellar at Creation is a hive of activity as we expand our production facilities. With a newly planted 1.75 ha of Pinot Noir coming into production in the next few years, as well as a natural increase in yields as the existing vineyards reach maturity, we expect the harvest to breach 300 tons. To accommodate this we have installed 100 000 litres of new stainless steel tank space, suspending tanks above existing floor space. The increased capacity will also allow our cellarmaster JC Martin to move all production of our second label, Whale Pod, onto site, giving total control over the process from grape to bottle.
Creation in the NewsThe Creation Viognier 2013 was featured as Olly Smith’s ‘treat’ in his Saturday Pick of the Bunch wine review in the Daily Mail – a publication that reaches over 4 million readers in the United Kingdom. Olly calls it a ‘real find’ with ‘… a glittering freshness as bright as a diamond.’ Click here to read the full article.
PINOT IN PARADISEJoining in the first Hemel-en-Aarde Pinot Noir Celebration, Creation Wines will be showcasing five of their premier Pinots in the delectable company of five enticing canapés – each pairing a match made in heaven! Set against the scenic backdrop of Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge with co-owners JC and Carolyn Martin as your hosts, this event promises to be a Pinot Noir lover’s dream. So do join us on Saturday, 1 February 2014 at 17:00 on the Creation Terrace. RSVP essential. Please contact Salome on 028 212 1107 or [email protected]. Click below to see the full invite.

Top Story. At a recent top level eye health conference, Johan Pretorius, optometrist at Pappin Pretorius learnt that 20 minutes walking per day is one of the very best - of all - exercises you can do to improve your general health and organ longevity. The rhythmic contracting muscles around the long bones in the legs stimulate red- (in the darker, thicker ends) and white blood cell (in the long white shaft of the leg bone) manufacture and release into your system. Dancing was listed in the second place and jogging not among the first 20 in the top - optimally healthy - exercise list.This is a Nosy Rosy free interpretation of what she was told : ) For more facts read the information piece on the best nutrician-rich foods for healthy eyes.

Will you be SunSmart all year round?
The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) encourages everyone, young and old, to be SunSmart, not only during the holidays but all year round, to reduce the risk of skin cancer.
CANSA CEO, Sue Janse Van Rensburg says, “Sunlight keeps us warm, it creates food and shelter for us via plant life and gives us light. However, as greenhouse gases trap more heat and the ozone layer allows more dangerous ultraviolet (UV) light through, the sun’s rays can be distinctly dangerous. UV rays cause skin cancer in humans and animals. So we need to be aware of the risk factors for skin cancer and be proactive to help detect skin cancers early.” More on malignant melanoma and Cansa…
