About this wine
Seven kilometres from the cold Atlantic, the Groote Post building has stood on the Darling hills since 1808 — first as a lookout post, today as the family estate of brothers Peter and Nick Pentz. Seasalter is their icon white: 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Sémillon from south-facing vineyards at 250 metres on Hutton and Oakleaf soils over a granite substrate threaded with schist. Grapes are picked by hand in the cool of the morning, sorted, and fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperature. Half the Sauvignon then spends eight months in a single 600-litre French-oak barrel before the final blend with the rest of the Sauvignon and the Sémillon, bottled in March of the year following harvest — a culinary, finely judged white that punches well above its price.
Tasting notes
Pale yellow. The nose is wonderfully refreshing: citrus, nectarine, a clear breath of sea air and kelp, fine herbs at the edge. The palate is mineral and crunchy, with the kind of finesse and balance you don't expect at this level, and the Sémillon rises gently in the finish to round off the Sauvignon's sharper edges. Real Cape elegance.
