The long awaited upgrade to the Darling Hills Road, from the R307 has taken place. Dozens of heavy-duty construction vehicles have been hard at work and the result is a super smooth road surface.

Groote Post Weisser Riesling 2008
Our maiden vintage of this very exciting cultivar is showing a subdued floral nose with wafts of honeysuckle. A fresh, gentle palate of white peach that's well rounded, displaying a slight untoasted oak influence. An aromatic white wine, bottled under Vino Lok, that reflects the cool climate aspect of Groote Post.

Alc: 12.9  RS: 2.5  pH: 3.32   TA: 6.4
Groote Post Chenin Blanc 2010
From the only bush vines on the farm, a bright, full style with a tropical fruit-salad palate and green apple flavours. A very good length and body for this vintage and, as it's bottled under screw cap, will preserve its freshness and verve for a good few years to come. Excellent value for money.
Alc: 13.5  RS: 2.9  pH: 3.45   TA: 6.6
Groote Post Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2009
An established, award-winning pedigree. Light straw colour with dusky, green pepper and asparagus on the nose. An elegant, vibrant and refined wine from top quality fruit. A full and lingering finish that is well rounded and a perfect food match.

Alc: 13.5  RS: 3.9  pH: 3.46   TA: 7.6
Groote Post Sauvignon Blanc 2010
Who says Sauvignon Blanc is all about acidity? Ideal growing conditions have resulted in a superbly balanced wine, displaying characteristic freshly-mown grass on the nose and rich, luscious white peach flavours on the palate. Depth, length and intensity from a standout vintage.

Alc: 13.5  RS: 1.7  pH: 3.45   TA: 6.8
Groote Post The Old Mans Blend White 2009
A light, refreshingly crisp white blend of top class Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Semillon. A slight lemon and lime aroma with a delicate palate of Granny Smith apples and a bracing minerality for those long and languid summer days.

Alc: 13  RS: 1.3  pH: 3.56   TA: 5.7
