Chilli-ginger hake + Sauvignon Blanc

The freshness of David Nieuwoudt’s Ghost Corner Sauvignon Blanc (R219.99) is perfect for the hake on page 21. Expect aromas of fig, lemongrass and gooseberries, and great minerality. Although the strong flavour of ginger tends to overpower wine, this one has pyrazine characteristics – or green flavours – which work well with the aromatic spiciness of the dish.
