Out with the old, in with the new—that’s the story behind Groote Post's Chardonnay vineyards. After over 30 years of faithful service, their original vines began facing viral challenges. Nine years ago, they began replanting, not just to replace, but to improve. They carefully selected top-tier clones and the most ideal spots on the farm for Chardonnay, and the results have been extraordinary.
The Groote Post Pinch of Salt Chardonnay showcases vibrant aromas of fresh stone fruits and zesty citrus. On the palate, crisp citrus and juicy yellow stone fruit mingle with steely minerality, balanced by a long, refreshing acidity that provides depth and concentration. This lightly oaked 2023 vintage is complex yet fresh, with a beautiful mineral backbone and a lively, zesty structure.
It’s a perfect example of how innovation and tradition come together in winemaking. Ideal for summer, pair this wine with simple fish cakes and a light, nutritious salad topped with a balsamic vinaigrette for an unbeatable combination.
