Ghost Corner Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc

R270.00

The Ghost Corner Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc, takes its name from the wild, treacherous coastline on the southernmost tip of Africa, where many ships have been shipwrecked. The grapes come from cool Elim vineyards, and undergo a long and slow natural ‘wild’ fermentation, in 400L French oak barrels, creating depth and layers of flavour. The wine is then barrel matured for up to 10 months with monthly battônage of the lees.

Ghost Corner Wines

Ghost Corner by David Nieuwoudt is inspired by the extreme coastal area around Cape Agulhas near Elim, known as 'Spookdraai' where many ships have been wrecked and folklore claims that the ghosts of sailors who perished through the years can be seen wandering the wild waters. The wines in this range are as intriguing and extreme as the story of their origin at the southernmost tip of the Cape winelands.
