The High Days of Harvest

No doubt about it: harvest is the highlight on our estate calendar. At the time of writing Creation is buzzing with activity and anticipation as all the care lavished on our vineyards throughout the year finally comes to fruition. It is a time of great joy but also a time of hard work and we are happy indeed to welcome our three talented and energetic interns on board: Bobby Wallace (local), Nick Rothlisberger from Switzerland and Juan Pina from Argentina.

Bobby Wallace

Bobby comes from Elgin just down the road, where he was born and bred. He obtained a B.Sc. (Agr.) degree in Viticulture and Oenology from Elsenburg College at the end of 2016 and this is his maiden harvest as a qualified winemaker.

He describes himself as “a complete Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fanatic” which means Creation is right up his alley. But he is also excited about working with so many different cultivars: “I do not think it is that often that one gets to work in such a beautiful environment with so many different cultivars which are all unique to their own parcel of land.”
