Groote Post release the 2021 vintage of their much-loved Seasalter amidst a blaze of West Coast Spring Flowers

on

 “September is a magical time for us,” enthuses Peter Pentz junior of Groote Post, the historic Darling Hills farm owned by the Pentz family.

“The West Coast puts on her beautiful spring floral display, the entire landscape transforming into a blaze of colour… and before you know it, the magic is gone again.








Seasalter is Groote Post’s highly acclaimed flagship Sauvignon Blanc, with a 10% Semillon component and a touch of oak. “We expect #Seasalter2021 to meet all the expectations of our loyal Seasalter fans. It is a beautifully composed complex wine with the Sauvignon’s zesty acidity and vibrancy perfectly balanced by the richer notes and fuller mouth feel added by the Semillon component, continues Peter.”

 

It was with much excitement and pride that Groote Post released their limited-edition maiden Seasalter in 2015, and this immense joy is rekindled with each new vintage reveal. The Seasalter 2015 (as well as subsequent vintages), have been immediate hits with wine lovers. There is so much to love about Seasalter, a West Coast Story in a Bottle: the elegance and purity of fruit, vibrant acidity, oyster shell minerality and saline finish - so typical of Sauvignons from the unique maritime cool-climate Darling Hills terroir; the charming name that captures the essence of the wine; and the refreshing distinctive label that visually portrays the West Coast soul of the wine.

 

The stature of the Seasalter has been recognised and highlighted by a range of prestigious accolades.

The 2019 Seasalter vintage was awarded:

  • A Top 10 placing at the 2019 FNB Sauvignon Blanc Top 10 competition
  • The Sauvignon Blanc Trophy at the 2021 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show

Following on this success, the 2020 vintage received:

  • Top 10 status in the Wooded category at the 2020 Prescient Sauvignon Blanc Report convened by Winemag.co.za
  • A Gold medal at the 2020 Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards
  • A Gold medal at the 2021 Concours Mondial du Sauvignon in Brussel
