High Praise for Creation Wines

Creation is pleased to announce that eight of our wines have scored 90 points and more in a tasting conducted by Neal Martin for eRobertParker.com 

Neal Martin specialises in rating wines from Burgundy, South Africa and Portugal. The high percentage of Creation wines scoring above 90 points can be ascribed to the fact that cellarmaster Jean-Claude (JC) Martin is producing top quality wines from our now fully mature estate vineyards.

Says Neal Martin: “I found some great wines from Creation this year, commencing with a scintillating Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc 2015 that just sprinted out of the blocks and attested to JC’s assiduous use of oak. It was a consistent range from white and red, both I feel [with] Burgundy influences …” High praise indeed from a Burgundy specialist!

The wines scoring 90 points and more are:

Creation Chardonnay201493

Creation Sauvignon Blanc Semillon2015 – 92

Creation Sumac Grenache 2014 – 91

Creation Syrah Grenache 2014 – 91

Art of Creation Chardonnay 2014 – 91

Art of Creation Pinot Noir 2014 – 91

Creation Reserve Pinot Noir 2014 – 90

Creation Viognier 2015 – 90

The Robert Parker scores follow closely on the release of Tim Atkin’s South African Wine Report, where the renowned expert on South African wines rated no less than 13 of our wines in the 90+ point category.

Creation Chardonnay among Decanter Top 10

We are thrilled to have our 2014 Creation Art of Chardonnay included inDecanter’s Ten Top South African Chardonnays.
