Nothing says “celebration” better than a bottle of bubbly and there are no excuses for not having a good bottle on standby for when the moment requires the popping of a cork. Supermarkets and speciality shops are well stocked with beautiful bottles and many reasonably priced options.

But sometimes you need something that’s different. Something that stands out. For these moments Hemel-en-Aarde producer, Creation, has got just that – something different and nice enough to make the occasion a celebration. A bottle of Creation’s Elation Méthode Cap Classique Brut Rosé is a work of art in more ways than one. Not only is the inside a triumph of finely formed pink bubbles but the label depicts the artistic skills of Glen Martin, son of the dynamic Carolyn and JC who turned an Overberg sheep farm into an wine tourism destination of note. With an extended delivery system everyone should experience the pleasure of Creation’s Elation this festive season. What’s your excuse?
