The Ghost Corner Pinot Noir is a fantastically crafted Pinot Noir with a deliciously classic aroma of wild berries and red cherries, paired with a touch of subtle savory hints. A delightfully creamy mouthfeel and well-structured tannins trump on the palate, with subtle earthy nuances echoing on the pleasantly dry finish.
The Ghost Corner range was inspired by the extreme coastal area of the Cape Agulhas area near Elim, known in Afrikaans as 'Spookdraai', meaning ghost bend or ghost turn, as this is where many ships met their end and sank. The wines in this range are as fascinating and extreme as the story of their origin at the southernmost tip of Cape Winelands.Ghost Corner Pinot Noir

10 he hand-picked Pinot Noir grapes were fermented whole bunch, while the other 90% were completely destemmed. Fermentation took place spontaneously and naturally for some of the steel tanks, while other tanks were added selected yeast cultures. During the fermentation process, the wine was pumped over once a day under a maximum temperature of 27°C and the marc cap was submerged by hand twice a day. Once fermentation was complete, the grapes were pressed and transferred to 228-liter French barriques, where malolactic fermentation was completed. The wine was then aged for 10 months in barriques (20% new wood, 20% second, 20% ritt, 20% fourth and 20 ünftbefüllte wood).
