Everything about the Seasalter reflects Groote Postâs West Coast terroir. The name was chosen to symbolise the unique minerality and saltiness of Groote Postâs white wines, the culmination of the interplay of slope, soil, climate and proximity to the icy Atlantic.
I adore the quality of this refreshing wine packaging design, that shouts out West Coast. The seagells on the packaging are hand drawn and the gloss on the wordmark is a reflection of the glistening waves of the icy Atlantic Ocean (excellent label design by ALDC). The Seasalter 2018 is an elegant blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Semillon. 50% of the Sauvignon Blanc was fermented and aged for 8 months in 300-litre French Oak barrels. The remaining components were fermented in stainless steel tanks and left on the fine lees. The Seasalter is wonderfully expressive on the nose and the palate with captivating notes of citrus, stone fruit and green apple together with hints of fynbos and kelp, sea-breeze and a touch of oak. Rich, layered and long, this subtly powerful blend is intense but not weighty: an elegant well-balanced wine showing typical Darling minerality, vibrant acidity and some leesy complexity before a saline finish.

The Seasalter is an excellent food wine, best enjoyed with West Coast seafood of course.
