NEW RELEASE! Pinch of Salt Chardonnay - Groote Post Vineyards

Groote Post Pinch of Salt Chardonnay 2023

This flagship Chardonnay hailing from cool climatic conditions yielded excellent fruit and is another wine produced by Groote Post that are distinct in story, terroir and taste.

Tasting Notes:
The Groote Post Pinch of Salt Chardonnay shows an abundance of fresh stone fruit and vibrant citrus notes on the nose. On the palate, a steely minerality with crisp citrus and yellow stone fruit flavours and a long zesty acidity assure a full and concentrated structure. This lightly wooded 2023 vintage shows complexity with fresh acidity, a beautiful minerality and a vibrant, zesty structure. Innovation and tradition blend perfectly to bring out the best in this wine.

In the Cellar:
In the cellars, a symphony unfolds as the first and last Chardonnay grapes harvested enjoy a two to three-week interlude due to diverse microclimates. Grapes are harvested into bins, with only the best undergoing sorting before pressing. We use whole bunch pressing, carefully separating fractions during pressing. The juice settles for three days before fermentation. We ferment Chardonnay in three vessels: fifty percent in stainless steel for a crisp character, thirty percent in French oak for richness and twenty percent in amphoras for a unique blend. This approach creates a wine with layers of flavour and depth. After fermentation, the wine rests on the lees for six months, allowing it to evolve, refine, and develop remarkable complexity.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
With the grapes basking in the salty wind and the West Coast sun on the highest hill of the farm, this wine will be the perfect summer companion served with simple fish cakes and a light nutritious salad with a refreshing balsamic vinaigrette.
