Sauvignon Blanc

Excellent with seafood and poultry dishes, such as pheasant​.

The grapes are sourced from the cool-climate Elim region, which contributes to the wine's crisp, mineral character. The vines grow in deep, lime-rich soils with gravel and slate deposits, allowing the grapes to express the terroir​.

Best enjoyed within the next 2-3 years but has the potential to develop further​.

The wine is left on its lees to develop richness and complexity. This practice enhances both the length and texture on the palate​.

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.
