Boekenhoutskloof The Goldmine White 2024
Boekenhoutskloof The Goldmine White is a poised and expressive Cape white blend from one of South Africa's most celebrated producers the team behind the iconic Chocolate Block. Drawing fruit from select vineyard sites across the Western Cape, this inaugural vintage blends Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon, and Viognier into a wine of real luminosity, mineral edge, and quietly luxurious depth. Why You'll Love It Boekenhoutskloof needs little introduction their Chocolate Block has become one of South Africa's most sought-after reds, and The Goldmine White brings the same level of ambition and craft to a white blend. Each variety is vinified separately and aged in a thoughtful mix of French oak, concrete, and amphorae to balance richness with purity. The result is a wine that rewards attention and improves with every sip. A landmark release for the Cape. Vineyard & Production Fruit is sourced from select sites across the Western Cape, with each grape variety handled independently and fermentation tailored to its individual profile. Oak ageing is applied selectively to build structure and complexity, while concrete and amphorae contribute freshness and mouthfeel. The final blend is assembled to harmonise vibrancy with layered richness. Best served at 10–12°C. Tasting Notes Bright straw-yellow with golden highlights. The nose is fresh and intricate quince, poached pear, and nectarine, alongside bruised apple, chamomile, and a whisper of baking spice. On the palate, ripe stone fruit and citrus are framed by textured Semillon, lifted Chenin Blanc, and floral Viognier. The finish is long, seamless, and quietly luxurious, with a pithy, slightly saline mouthfeel and hints of ginger and cinnamon. Perfect Pairings Excellent with grilled sea bass, roast chicken with lemon and herbs, creamy mushroom pasta, and soft cheeses. A natural choice for elegant dinners and special occasions. The Blend Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon, Viognier
Ghost Corner Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Ghost Corner The Bowline is the flagship white blend from David Nieuwoudt’s celebrated Ghost Corner range, crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grown in the windswept coastal vineyards of Elim near Cape Agulhas. Named after the sailor’s “king of knots,” this wine symbolises the union between these two noble varieties, tied together by the cool maritime influence and stony soils of South Africa’s southernmost vineyards. The vines, rooted in South Bokkeveld slate, koffieklip, and gravel, yield grapes of remarkable intensity and purity. Meet the producer Ghost Corner wines draw inspiration from Spookdraai , a treacherous stretch of coastline near Elim where countless ships have been lost to the sea. Legend tells of ghostly sailors still wandering the misty shores — an evocative image mirrored in the haunting beauty of these wines. Crafted by acclaimed winemaker David Nieuwoudt, the range captures the untamed spirit and coastal energy of the Cape Agulhas region. Production Grapes are hand-harvested in the cool early morning between February and March, at 22.5–23.5°B, and vinified separately under reductive conditions to preserve delicate aromatics. After gentle crushing at 8°C and brief skin contact, the Sauvignon Blanc ferments in stainless steel tanks, while the Semillon is split between cement eggs (9%), new French oak (13%), second-fill barrels (13%), and older 400L barrels. Both components mature on fine lees for nine months before blending — 62% Sauvignon Blanc and 38% Semillon. Tasting notes The Bowline is an elegant, layered white blend with lifted aromas of green nettles, coastal scrub, and wild herbs, underpinned by hints of sea spray and flint. The palate is complex and finely textured, offering fresh citrus and subtle oak spice with a long, mineral finish that captures the ozone freshness of the Cape coastline. Beautifully balanced, it will evolve gracefully over four to ten years. Food match An ideal companion to Provençal-style chicken with green oliv
