Groote Post Kapokberg Chardonnay is an elegant chardonnay with a nose of almonds and lashings of butter and marmalade on the Palate. The wine is well integrated with the wood and has a creamy palate.
Kapokberg translated as “snowy mountain”. In days gone, this hill, covered in white Spring flowers, resembled a snow capped mountain. At 459m above sea level, it is the highest hill at Groote Post and bears the name of our vineyard selection wines.
