Ghost Corner
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.
Description
This vibrant Sauvignon Blanc showcases prominent aromas of lemongrass, white blossom, gooseberry, and asparagus, with an underlying minerality that reflects the cool, coastal terroir of the Elim region. The palate is concentrated with flavors that linger, balanced by a creamy texture and refreshing acidity.
Food Pairing
This Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with tricky-to-match dishes like capers, asparagus, or fish with tartar sauce. It also complements dishes like salad niçoise and tuna tartare.
