About the wine

Heaven and Earth — A Biel winemaker in the South African wine paradise In 2002, the Neuchâtel winemaker Jean-Claude “JC” Martin (formerly Domaine les Grillettes) founded the “Creation Wines” winery near Hermanus with his wife Carolyn, South African with generations of winemaker ancestors. Lying on the Hemel-en-Aarde ridge in front of Walker Bay, the Creation Winery enjoys ideal cool, maritime conditions. At 350 meters above sea level, the vines thrive on clay soils that are more than 450 million years old. You'll be pampered by plenty of sun exposure and the cool Atlantic breeze. The natural acidity of the soil, which is preserved in the grapes, is reflected in the wonderful minerality of the wines. Thanks to these factors, the grapes are of consistently high quality and allow the creation of complex, finesse wines with a lot of depth. As a member of the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative, Creation Wines is committed to protecting and preserving natural biodiversity.
