Ghost Corner The Bowline is a complex and characterful white wine from the Western Cape of South Africa, blending Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon in a classic Cape white tradition. Named after the bowline, the sailor's knot known as the king of knots for its strength, simplicity and symbolism of union and completion, this wine ties together two complementary varieties into something greater than the sum of its parts.

Why You'll Love It

Ghost Corner is one of South Africa's most exciting producers, crafting wines from the wild, windswept vineyards of the Elim and Overberg regions. The Bowline is their signature white blend, and it showcases the Cape's remarkable ability to produce Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon of real complexity and depth. Well-balanced oak, a refreshing finish and a Vivino rating of 4.2 make this a wine that consistently over-delivers for the price.

Vineyard and Production

Sourced from Ghost Corner's vineyards in the Western Cape, where the cool maritime climate and diverse soils create ideal conditions for aromatic white varieties. The Semillon contributes green fig and dusty complexity, while the Sauvignon Blanc brings ripe asparagus notes and vibrant freshness. Careful oak integration adds structure and weight without masking the wine's natural aromatic character.

Tasting Notes

Aromatic and complex on the nose, with green fig and dusty notes from the Semillon complemented by ripe asparagus and fresh citrus from the Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is well-structured with balanced oak, good acidity and a refreshing, smooth finish that lingers with real elegance.

Perfect Pairings

A versatile food wine. Excellent with roast chicken, fresh seafood, grilled fish or a classic fish pie. Also outstanding alongside soft goat's cheese, asparagus dishes or a light summer salad.
