Groote Post Pinch of Salt Chardonnay 2024

A pinch of this and a pinch of that!

Fermenting the Pinch of Salt Chardonnay in three vessels creates a wine with layers of flavour and depth, just like a pinch of salt brings out the best in every dish. Wentzel’s recipe calls for three pinches: sixty percent stainless steel for a crisp character, forty percent ancient clay amphora and a small percent oak for a unique blend. Often, what one thinks of as new is in fact a reimagined pinch from the past.

The result is a wine showing fresh acidity, minerality and a zesty structure. Smell fresh stone fruit and vibrant citrus notes. Taste a steely minerality with crisp citrus and yellow stone fruit flavours and a long zesty acidity. No extra pinch of nothing is needed.

Pinch of Salt is perfect with fish cakes and a light salad with a balsamic vinaigrette.

Groote Post Seasalter Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Willem Van Zyl — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 14:13:33 +0000

This year was one that allowed me to take an extended summer holiday. Perfect growing conditions contributed to slow ripening of the grapes, there for better and complete fruit development. Our goal is to always achieve optimal ripeness, to have a wine that displays all the flavours that a Sauvignon Blanc can offer.

90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Semillon

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.

The Old Man’s Blend Red is a down-to-earth blend of roughly half Merlot with equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

On the palate, you’ll find a rich display of vibrant red fruits, with soft tannins providing a smooth and satisfying finish.

This versatile wine pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and roasted vegetables. It also complements aged cheeses and rich, tomato-based pasta dishes. For a delightful dessert pairing, try it with dark chocolate to enhance its subtle cedarwood notes and rich fruit flavours.

Groote Post Salt of the Earth

Dark, ripe plums and cherry fruit aromas, cracked pepper, and a whisper of fynbos rise from the glass like a coastal breeze carrying the scent of the wild. The Cinsault lends its signature spice and depth and brings a vibrant and fresh juiciness, rounding out the edges with supple tannins and a silky finish. A hint of savoury minerality lingers as a reminder of the soils that give this wine its name. Like those who are salt of the earth, this wine embodies authentic character and quiet confidence. It’s uncomplicated yet deeply expressive – a toast to tradition, craftsmanship, and the simple pleasures that make life extraordinary.

Serve at 12-15 Deg.
