The Bowline 2024, the flagship in the Ghost Corner stable, follows in the style of the 2023 vintage, deviating slightly with more intrigue and compelling notes of green nettles, coastal scrub and a dusty herbaceousness. This wine conjures up images of sea spray over fynbos, moist river pebbles and the sense that this wine is ozone captured in a bottle. It is a complex wine, as intriguing as it is delicious.
This complex wine will add a touch of elegance to any occasion. Pair it with creamy carbonara or alfredo pasta or caramelised onion and brie on crispy puff pastry. Keep it easy with grilled sole with lemon butter or allow the chef to come to the fore with a slow-cooked coq au vin blanc – replacing the traditional red wine with white wine.
