Creation Wines is thrilled to share the news that its flagship Art of Pinot Noir 2022 has been included in the World’s Best Sommeliers’ Selection 2025.

This is a prestigious selection curated by William Reed, organisers of acclaimed events such as The World’s Best Vineyards and The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. It serves as a trusted reference for on-trade professionals worldwide, showcasing both established icons and rising stars in the industry.

The 2025 selection process was carried out by over 30 top sommeliers and beverage directors from The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, led by Jhonel Faelnar of Atomix in New York (president). As each wine was tasted, a detailed account of the rich narrative behind each bottle was provided, enabling the sommeliers to curate a selection that celebrates the diversity of flavours and the cultural heritage intertwined with winemaking traditions from various regions around the globe.

‘To have one of our wines chosen by some of the most influential palates in the global hospitality industry is truly an honour,’ says Creation co-founder and managing director Carolyn Martin.

Here is the WBSS 2025 tasting note for Creation Art of Pinot Noir 2022:
‘Wild, but elegant, this is an expressive and very spicy Pinot Noir showing sour cherry, red berries, Madagascar pepper and savoury nuances. The wine develops very nicely with air. Juicy, elegant and rounded on the palate with high acidity and perfect ripeness of fruit. Savoury, chewy tannins. Holds the alcohol very well which contributes to lovely broad palate. A really lovely wine, most pleasing and very well balanced. Congrats!’

In terms of food pairing, the WBSS 2025 recommendation is as follows: ‘This gastronomic Pinot would be equally amazing with Cochinita Pibil (Yucatán-stye barbecued pork) or smoked lamb with massaman curry.’
