A waxy, terpene character opens on the palate with a nevertheless enchantingly crisp and mineral finish on the 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 the Cape Winelands. . This text has been automatically translated.

After pressing, the juice was left to rest for two days and then skimmed from the sediment and selected yeasts were added. 30 es of juice were placed in French oak barrels with a capacity of 225 liters per barrel for fermentation and subsequent aging for 5 months. 70 es juice fermented at a regulated 11 ° C for 24 hours in stainless steel tanks and matured after completion of fermentation with regular stirring of the yeast for four months on the fine yeast before blending and bottling both components
