About The Wine
This superb expression of Sauvignon Blanc comes from about as far south as you can go on the African continent.
Right in the deep south of the country, winemaker David Nieuwoudt picks this fruit by hand in the wee hours of the morning to maintain freshness and purity in the style. As the name suggest, the wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged in barrel on lees for 10 months before bottling bringing a creamy lusciousness to the palate.
This took home the Trophy for Best Sauvignon Blanc at the 2019 Six Nations Wine Competition.
About Ghost Corner
The evocatively named Ghost Corner is located in the southern-most tip of South Africa.
More than 130 ships have wrecked themselves off the coast of this cape. Just a little way back off this treacherous piece of coastline sits the vineyard that produces these lovely cool-climate wines.
Owner and winemaker David Nieuwoudt crafts these small-batch wines to reflect the nervy energy and tension of their extreme terroir.

From The Producer
Naturally fermented sauvignon blanc. Enticing aromas of fleshy white pear and quince with an illusion of sweetness. Ten months barrel maturation gives a creamy, full-palate with beautiful length. Well paired with fresh seafood or a creamy pasta. Best enjoyed right away, but potential to age up to five years.
Blend : Sauvignon Blanc (100%)
Closure : Screw Cap
Drink Until : 2024
Bottle Size : 750ml

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
