Ghost Corner Syrah

David Nieuwoudt 's Ghost Corner Syrah is an exceptional red wine from the wild, maritime coastal region of Elim at the southernmost tip of South Africa – inspired by the legendary "Spookdraai" at Cape Agulhas, where sailors lost their lives and the story of the ghost of the seas is told. Deep, limestone-rich soils with slate and gravel deposits give this Syrah its distinctive minerality and cool elegance.

In the glass, it displays a deep purplish-red color with violet reflections . The nose is complex and seductive, with aromas of blackberry, black pepper, violets, and wild herbs , accompanied by subtle smoky notes and a cool, salty sea breeze. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, precise, and elegant, with silky tannins, refreshing acidity, and a long, spicy-mineral finish.

With 13.5% alcohol by volume and a serving temperature of 16–18°C, it is an ideal accompaniment to lamb, game, dark poultry and mature cheese – a Syrah that captures the rugged magic of the South African coast.
