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 Wild Ferment 2016

Something incredibly special, David Nieuwoudt's 2016 Vintage Ghost Corner Wild Ferment is clearly a winner with Sauvignon Blanc lovers who enjoy something natural and different.

With no added yeast, natural fermentation process, this amazing wine is made on the farm in the Cederberg from grapes brought all the way from Elim in the Agulhas area, the Southernmost landfall of Africa.

It was our privilege to taste this superb wine at the cellar this December 2017.
