Ghost Corner wines from Elim at the southernmost tip of Africa are produced by David Nieuwoudt, the owner of Cederberg.
The extreme and mysterious landscape at the southernmost tip of Africa has been the inspiration for the Ghost Corner wines. More than 130 ships have found their last resting place in these treacherous waters where compass readings show no deviation between magnetic and true north and navigation was just about impossible on dark and stormy nights.
Inland from this dramatic coastline, in the Elim Ward, lie the vineyards where David Nieuwoudt is making the most of excellent growing conditions, cooling southeasterly breezes and extreme climate. The deep lime-rich soil with plentiful slate and gravel deposits are perfect for growing Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Noir grapes.
Details of the wines which now consist of five products – Sauvignon Blanc, Semillion, Wild Ferment, Bowline and a Pinot Noir can now be found on their own page on the Diverse Flavours website.
Ghost Corner is a range of wines that linger on the palate, evoking a sense of mysteries past. These are unique wines from an extreme terrior at the southernmost tip of Africa.
