Cederberg Ghost Corner Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Naturally fermented sauvignon blanc. Enticing aromas of fleshy white pear and quince with an illusion of sweetness. Nine months barrel maturation gives a creamy, full-palate with beautiful length.

Well paired with fresh seafood or a creamy pasta.
