With Friday 18 August being National Pinot Noir Day, we take pleasure in focusing on this fascinating cultivar, tracing its history since the Roman era.

Did you know? Pinot Noir is one of the most ancient cultivars with the earliest mention recorded in 1375, but with evidence of its existence stretching back as far as the Roman era, circa 100 AD. Over time mutations have resulted in a large number of clones with distinctly varied attributes. This renders clonal selection a critical decision, as each clone has characteristics making it more or less suitable for the chosen terroir.

Ranging from the Creation (Estate) Pinot Noir to the Reserve Pinot Noir and The Art of Creation Pinot Noir, each wine brims with attitude, style and that indefinable secret ingredient that Pinot aficionados find so irresistible. Since the first Creation Pinot release in 2010, many prestigious accolades and favourable reviews have borne testimony to the quality of the wines.
