Ghost Corner Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc is a world-class, highly acclaimed white wine produced in the windswept Elim ward near Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa. Crafted by visionary winemaker David Nieuwoudt of Cederberg Cellars, the "Ghost Corner" range takes its name from the treacherous coastal stretch that has claimed countless ships over the centuries. Utilizing wild yeast fermentation and barrel maturation, this wine represents an artisanal, exceptionally complex expression of extreme maritime Sauvignon Blanc.

Why You'll Love It

This wine stands out for its extraordinary textural complexity, striking maritime minerality, and layered aromatic depth. Unlike crisp, tank-fermented styles, wild yeast fermentation and partial aging in French oak puncheons impart a creamy, rich mouthfeel while softening the grape's natural acidity without masking its vibrant coastal drive. It delivers a thrilling alternative for lovers of fine white Burgundy or complex Loire Valley whites.

Vineyard & Production

The grapes are harvested from low-yielding, coastal vineyards planted in slate and gravel soils just miles from the ocean, where icy Atlantic winds naturally limit crop size and slow down grape ripening. Following hand-harvesting and careful sorting, the juice undergoes spontaneous fermentation using indigenous wild yeasts in a combination of stainless steel tanks and second-fill French oak barrels. The wine matures on its fine lees for several months to build richness and palate texture prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a pale gold with green highlights in the glass, this wine opens with a captivating, multi-layered nose of white peach, lime zest, and green apple, interwoven with subtle notes of toasted brioche, flint, and saline sea breezes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, rounded, and wonderfully complex, balancing a rich, creamy core of stone fruit and citrus with a bracing, mouth-watering mineral acidity. It finishes remarkably long, dry, and persistent.

Perfect Pairings

With its rich texture and vibrant coastal acidity, this wild-fermented white is a magnificent partner for fine seafood and creamy poultry dishes. It pairs brilliantly with pan-seared scallops, lobster thermidor, grilled sea bass with lemon butter, and oysters. It is also an exceptional match for roast chicken, pork tenderloin in cream sauce, creamy goat's cheese, and rich herbal risottos.
