This week the Woolworths WCellar buying team picked a fancy but unusual white with a rather spooktacular name. Perfect for a little Halloween drinks party, we think.
Our pick for this week:
Ghost Corner, The Bowline
R309.99, Woolworths*
Why we love it:
We’re sipping on something a bit different this week. The Ghost Corner range by Cederberg was inspired by the extreme coastal area around Cape Agulhas near Elim, known as Spookdraai, where many ships have been wrecked.
Sailors call the bowline the “king of knots”, and in this flagship white blend, Cederberg’s winemaker David Nieuwoudt “ties the knot” between sauvignon blanc and semillon. This Bordeaux-style wine offers green fig and asparagus, with well-balanced oak. If you want to keep this bottle for a year or more, the semillon will develop beautifully!
