Groote Post, Pinch of Salt Chardonnay

Groote Post is a historic family-owned estate located on the hills of Darling along South Africa's west coast. Originally operating as a farm from the 18th century, they are now renowned for producing exceptional wines that reflect the estate's unique terroir and rich history.

Created from new plantings of their Chardonnay from superior clones and optimal farm locations for Chardonnay, these new vineyards have year after year exceeded expectations and produced extraordinary wine for young vines. With a unique aging blend of 50% stainless steel, 30% French oak, and 20% in amphoras, this creates a wine with great layers of flavor and depth. After fermentation, the wine is rested on lees for 6 months to further develop before bottling.

Producing an abundance of fresh ripe stone fruit and bright citrus on the nose, accompanied by yellow stone fruits and a long zesty acidity on the palate with a concentrated structure and beautiful minerality. Perfect alongside simple fish cakes and a light salad with a balsamic vinaigrette.
