Groote Post Vineyards
Groote Post has always been best known for its Sauvignon Blanc but in recent years its other wines notably Chardonnay Shiraz and Pinot Noir have gained greater recognition from wine competitions and its widespread client base alike. Although Groote Post wines have received a steady stream of accolades and awards since its maiden 1999 vintage co-owner Nick Pentz and winemaker Lukas Wentzel believe that the best has yet to come. While acknowledging that winemaking and particularly grape growing are a perpetual work in progress they are confident that they now have the building blocks in place for a more mature phase in its life cycle. This was amply illustrated during the long and challenging 2004 harvest that produced grapes with the desired physiological factors and phenolic ripeness resulting in complex wines showing intense fruit flavours. The Sauvignon Blancs are now showing consistency with the sought-after fruit to acid balance.
Description
The Seasalter 2024 offers pronounced aromas of fresh apple, passion fruit, and blackcurrant, accompanied by a distinct minerality and oceanic notes, with subtle hints of oak. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, featuring vibrant, lingering acidity. Flavours of tropical fruits and a strong mineral backbone dominate, leading to a long, fruit-driven finish. This well-balanced and complex Sauvignon Blanc captures its coastal terroir beautifully.
Food Pairing
For a delightful main course, pair the Groote Post Seasalter Sauvignon Blanc with grilled seafood, such as prawns or scallops, seasoned with fresh herbs and a hint of garlic. Alternatively, try it with a tangy goat cheese salad, complemented by figs and walnuts, or a creamy risotto with asparagus and Parmesan.
