Ghost Corner Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Name: Ghost Corner Sauvignon Blanc 2015
Brand: David Nieuwoudt Ghost Corner
SKU: 40060

A unique Sauvignon blanc that cannot be compared to any other. Powerful concentrated layers of green figs and gooseberries, with a touch of grapefruit, fynbos and a steely minerality on the palate. A reflection of the cool maritime climate of Elim where the grapes are sourced

This wine can stand its own against any great seafood or poultry dishes.
