Seasalter, by Groote Post
Regular price
£20.00
A white wine full of flavour that showcases the unique coastal area of Darling Hills.
As the name suggests, there’s a distinct salinity to this wine - the vines are planted directly in the face of icy Atlantic winds, which carry salt into the vineyards, coating the grapes.
The cool evenings produce grapes with great flavour intensity, and the balance of fresh tropical fruits with a salty backdrop is spot on.
Why we choose it?
A very interesting wine from a South African region growing in importance. A real crowd pleaser.

The wine...
Seasalter
A wine that combines the best elements of several classic styles, capped with a modern edge. Light oak maturation of a white Bordeaux; tropical flavours of a Marlborough Sauvignon; and the refreshing acidity and mineral finish of a Sancerre. All made possible by the unique location - warm sunny days, cool nights, with ferocious sea breezes.
The producer...
Groote Post
A third generation family winemaking business, and the approach is classical in many ways - this is a Bordeaux style white blend after all. The focus is on producing grapes that are bursting with flavour, and bring out the best of the superb conditions. An extended ripening period produces grapes with intense tropical flavours, without compromising on freshness.
