Pinot Noir

This wine pairs well with dishes like mushroom risotto, crispy duck, or grilled salmon, as the acidity and red fruit notes complement rich, earthy flavors​.

The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Elim area, located at the southern tip of the Western Cape. The cool, maritime climate provides ideal conditions for growing Pinot Noir, contributing to the wine’s crisp acidity and vibrant flavors​.

Typically aged for about 10-12 months in French oak, balancing oak influence and fruit integrity​.

The wine is aged in French oak barrels to develop complexity, with careful attention to ensure the oak doesn't overpower the delicate fruit character of the Pinot Noir​.

Winemaker David Nieuwoudt created the Ghost Corner brand in 2007, initially starting off with a Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc and adding three new wines in 2012: The Bowline, a Sauvignon blanc and Semillon blend; Ghost Corner Pinot Noir; and Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc, a Sauvignon blanc naturally fermented in older barrels. Every year David selects a small quantity of grapes from vineyards in the Elim ward near Cape Agulhas on the southernmost tip of Africa. Ghost Corner takes its name from this treacherous coastline where more than 130 ships have been shipwrecked through the ages. The deep lime-rich soil with plentiful slate and gravel deposits in Elim’s maritime climate gives rise to exceptional white wines.
