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 Sauvignon Blanc offers concentrated layers of green figs, gooseberries, and a hint of grapefruit. There are also fynbos and steely mineral notes, making it a fresh, vibrant, and elegant wine. The finish is long and rich, with lees contact adding depth and complexity.
Food Pairing
Excellent with seafood and poultry dishes, such as pheasant.
