Creation Syrah Grenache 2024

Creation Syrah Grenache 2024 is an elegant Rhône-style red blend from Walker Bay, combining the richness of Syrah with the vibrant character of Grenache. Crafted in a cool-climate environment, this wine delivers remarkable depth, savoury complexity and refined balance.

Product Story

Grown on decomposed Bokkeveld shale soils over clay-loam at an elevation of 270 metres, the vineyards benefit from a long ripening season and cool maritime influences that enhance flavour concentration while preserving freshness.

The grapes were hand harvested before fermentation in large traditional foudres and stainless steel tanks. The wine matured for 14 months in French oak barrels, with only 10% new oak and the remainder in second and third-fill barrels, allowing the fruit and terroir to take centre stage.

This carefully crafted blend reflects Creation Estate’s commitment to producing wines of elegance, purity and outstanding food compatibility.

Tasting Notes
