The wine district of Walker Bay is unique thanks to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, which means that the climate here is predominantly cool to very cool (cool climate), so that the grapes build a nice balance between ripe fruit and fresh acids. Just like with the Creation winery, the wines from this region have an old-world style and the wines are very similar to wines from, among others, Burgundy.

Ulumbaza means 'house of joy' and this red wine is a quirky blend of 42% Pinotage / 30% Cabernet Sauvignon / 20% Shiraz / 8% Petit Verdot.
