Groote Post Seasalter

Why it's on our shelf

Groote Post sits seven kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean on granite and schist soils in the Darling Hills — one of South Africa's most compelling cool-climate white wine addresses. The Seasalter is the estate's icon, a limited release: 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Sémillon, half the Sauvignon through eight months of large French oak, bottled in March. Citrus, nectarine, a distinctly coastal salinity, a long elegant finish. Peter and Nick Pentz are building something here. This is the evidence.
