Spookfontein (the ghost fountain) was established on just 11 hectares of farmland by determined Cape businessman Mike Davis with winemaker Craig Sheard. Here production is small, and unlike others in the valley, based on Bordeaux varieties, all matured in French oak for 18 months. These wines have consistently impressed us for their purity of red fruit and fairly European levels of natural acidity. Our favourite wines here are probably the Merlot and the lovely Cabernet Franc.
