Ghost Corner Bowline, Bordeux Blend, 2023
Click here for more Song options
Story
The Ghost Corner range was inspired by the extreme coastal area around Cape Agulhas near Elim, known as 'Spookdraai', where many ships have been wrecked. Folklore has it that the ghosts of many sailors who perished through the years can be seen wandering the wild waters. These wines are as intriguing and extreme as the story of their origin at the southernmost tip of the Cape winelands.
Tasting Notes
Pair The Ghost Corner Bowline 2023 with the "Mad Scene" aria from Lucia di Lammermoor by Donizetti, a hauntingly beautiful moment of emotional unraveling and elegance. The wine's fresh and harmonious blend, with notes of ripe pear, fig, and roasted almonds, mirrors the aria’s graceful yet intense unfolding. Lucia’s descend into madness allures the audience, just as the wine's story of sailors' ghosts wandering treacherous waters. The Cederberg region’s cool climate enhances the wine’s elegance, much like the aria’s chilling beauty, creating a pairing that is as poignant as it is intriguing.
Food Pairing
This bordeux blend pairs well with grilled seafood like pan-seared scallops or buttery lobster tail, as well as chicken in creamy white wine sauce or roasted pork tenderloin. Its fresh, elegant profile and notes of pear, fig, and roasted almonds beautifully complement the richness of these dishes.
Wine Maker's Note
Hand-harvested in the early morning at 22.5–23.5 °C and vinified separately, the winemaking process is done in reductive conditions using dry ice and carbon dioxide gas. Grapes are crushed at 8 °C with two to four hours of skin contact before a light pressing. Juice settling is followed by the Sauvignon being racked to stainless steel tanks and the Semillon to 4th fill 400l French oak barrels. After fermentation, both cultivars are matured on their fine lees for months and then blended together; 61% Sauvignon Blanc and 39% Semillon.
