Groote Post Sauvignon Blanc 2012
An explosion of fruit driven by lime, gooseberry and kiwi fruit, is underpinned by a thread of minerality. A lively wine with an intense palate that lingers making this a pleaser for any occasion.

The HarvestThe lead up to vintage 2012 was dry, but cooler than previous vintages. Our supplementary irrigation proved a lifesaver in our second dry year in a row. The different parcels of Sauvignon Blanc grapes were picked between 21° - 23° balling sugar ripeness.
Yield: 8.5t/ha
In The CellarThe challenge in the cellar is to capture the full potential of each batch of grapes delivered. After sorting, destemming and crushing, 50%of the grapes had skin contact. The best free run juice made up the components of this wine. The wine had lees contact for 2 months.
