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
Ghost Corner Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2024 opens with a pale straw hue and an expressive nose of lime zest and winter melon. The palate is layered and textural, revealing ripe pear, nectarine and hints of stone fruit, kelp and wet coastal scrub bush( fynbos). Wild fermentation brings creamy depth and savoury complexity, balancing herbaceous freshness with luscious fruit and a serious, structured core. A bold, distinctive take on Sauvignon Blanc from the windswept Agulhas coast.
Food Pairing
This wine has a personality all of its own. Its complexity pairs effortlessly with a wide range of flavours – from grilled line fish or herb-crusted goat’s cheese crostini to creamy garlic mussels. Brilliant with veal limone. Or simply enjoy it with a voluptuous oyster and let the salty, creamy moment transport you to the Agulhas coast. This wine defies the norms – let it be wild!
