Ghost Corner Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2024

R409.00

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.

Best enjoyed right away, but also has the potential to age up to five years.

Description

The extreme and mysterious landscape at the southernmost tip of Africa has been the inspiration for the Ghost Corner wines. More than 130 ships have found their last resting place in these treacherous waters where compass readings show no deviation between magnetic and true north and navigation was just about impossible on dark and stormy nights.

Inland from this dramatic coastline, in the Elim Ward, lie the vineyards where David is making the most of excellent growing conditions, cooling southeasterly breezes and extreme climate. The deep lime-rich soil with plentiful slate and gravel deposits give rise to the exceptional Ghost Corner wines – Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and The Bowline. A range of wines that linger on the palate, evoking a sense of mysteries past.
