Long awaited single-site Creation Syrah 2015 is ready for release

At last Creation’s long awaited single-site Syrah (2015) is ready for release. Here’s what Jean-Claude (Creation’s viticulturist and cellarmaster) has to say:

“Organoleptic tasting over the past few years has convinced me that this particular Syrah vineyard yields incredible purity of fruit. So for the 2015 vintage we’ve decided to single it out, creating a wine which expresses the unique terroir (including macro-, meso- and microclimate) at its best. We’ve already done this successfully with the creation of our Reserve Pinot Noir and since nature was particularly kind to us in 2015, I trust you’ll also be impressed when tasting our 2015 single-site Syrah.”

The wine is dense and deep in colour, almost black, with flashes of royal purple and a spark of red – shiny and multi-dimensional like a polished garnet. Generously aromatic, it rewards with aromas of maraschino cherry and peppery spice interwoven with whiffs of violet. The palate is silky, yet with vibrant minerality to offer exciting complexity. Lingering echoes of anise and clove add to the allure. This is anelegant example of a cooler climate Syrah from the maritime terroir of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge.

The 2014 Creation Syrah sold out in only four months and now we’re delighted to offer you the remarkable single-site 2015 vinatge on pre-release. The wine is priced at R225 per bottle and all Creation Wine Club incentives apply.
