I've been a visitor to the Cederberg since 1982. I'm passionate about this area and its people, who live a fascinating lifestyle, many off the grid. I'm privileged to be called a friend, a virtual 'member of the family' by some of the people. This blog is my personal record of more than 35 years visiting this fantastic, rugged and mountainous region of the Western Cape, South Africa. The photo above shows the house that C Louis Leipoldt's family occupied. Now used as guest accommodation.

Ghost Corner comes out tops at international Sauvignon Blanc event 2019 Six Nations.

Cederberg Ghost Corner Wild Ferment 2017 has won the trophy for best in class at the 2019 Six Nations Wine Challenge, meaning it beat New Zealand. Not a problem, in my provincialistic view.

Cheers, David, Cisca, Alex, Tammy, Pieter and all your colleagues.
