This wine is best enjoyed with as few people as possible. Sadly I made the mistake of sharing it with far too many (good people though they were). Rich and velvety like a millionaires pocket lining.

Drank this in the middle of a red wine and red meat-athon and it didn’t disappoint. Rich and tasty and more than able to stand up next to a herd of meat.
David Nieuwoudt Ghost Corner Semillon 2012
Better balance than a Romanian gymnast armed with a spirit level, and leaves your mouth drier than some of my metaphors. Got this at the Cedarberg winery. Not sure if it’s their head wine makers doing, or something they make on a different farm, either way it’s a beauty.
