Cederberg Ghost Corner Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2023

The Ghost Corner Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2023 with its pale yellow hue leads with an explosive nose brimming with Cape gooseberry, green nettles and fynbos, reflecting its rugged Agulhus coastline origin. This terroir-driven wine reveals a blackcurrant and fig leaf dustiness which further underpins this complex wine. The broad, chalky mouthfeel with its integrated acidity and exceptional length finishes with a delicious saline note, offsetting its opulent style. Powerful nose, exceptional palate

about the harvest: Grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning at 23.5 °B

in the cellar : A portion of the grapes is whole-bunch pressed; the rest goes through the destemmer and is crushed for skin contact. After one day of settling, the juice is transferred into 400l French oak barrels where natural fermentation takes place over the next 40 to 60 days at 13°C. Once fermentation is completed, the wine is matured in the barrels for up to 10 months with a monthly bâtonnage of the lees. No malolactic fermentation takes place. 15% 1st fill, 13% 2nd fill, 12% 3rd fill and 60% in older barrels with a medium toast
