Two children. Two wines. Two 95-point scores.

This week Tim Atkin gave Glenn's Chardonnay 2025 and Emma's Pinot Noir 2025 each a 95, calling Glenn "fast turning into one of the Cape's rising stars" and Emma's Pinot "elegant, floral and well balanced."

Glenn's Chardonnay 2025, from the same ridge block as The Art of Chardonnay, is wild yeast fermented and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Best enjoyed 2027 to 2032.

Emma's Pinot Noir 2025, a single vineyard wine from clone 115 grapes, is also wild fermented and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Best enjoyed 2028 to 2035.

Both wines are in final bottling and labelling now.
Pre-orders are open, with general release from October.

Very proud parents today.
Come discover the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge for yourself.

"A magic piece of countryside."
That's how Peter Finlayson described the Ridge when he first showed JC and Carolyn this land in 2002.
Virgin territory, unproven for wine, but the shale soils told a different story: this was Pinot Noir and Chardonnay ground.

The outcome? Absolutely superb.

Watch the full story "Creation Wines - The Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge", now on YouTube.
