THE wine is a unique creation paying homage to the role of salt in winemaking. Groote Post’s commitment to crafting distinctive wines is evident in its track record, with standout brands like Salt of the Earth and Seasalter gracing the tables of wine connoisseurs.
The journey to this exceptional Chardonnay took nearly a decade. Winemaker Lukas Wentzel embarked on a meticulous process, replanting the vineyards with superior chardonnay clones and selecting optimal locations for cultivation. The Pentz family, owners of Groote Post, were captivated by the challenge of blending innovation with tradition, honouring their chardonnay’s rich history.
The outcome is a lightly wooded 2023 vintage, characterised by fresh acidity, minerality, and a zesty structure. The wine tantalises the senses with aromas of fresh stone fruit and vibrant citrus notes. On the palate, one can savour a steely minerality, accompanied by crisp citrus and yellow stone fruit flavours, all balanced by a long, zesty acidity. This exquisite creation leaves no room for additional enhancements.
