Glen Carlou
Glen Carlou Vineyards is minutes away from the university town of Stellenbosch and less than 35 minutes’ drive from Cape Town. Situated in the Simonsberg-Paarl region of South Africa’s Western Cape, our estate was transformed from being a dairy farm in 1985 to a wine farm. Walter Finlayson acquired the property known as ‘Len Carlou’. He not only enhanced the name but with his affinity for Burgundian wines, the first vine plantings were those of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. After a 13-year period of ownership by the Swiss based Hess Group, Glen Carlou transferred back to local ownership in 2016 when a South African family consortium purchased the estate.

The 2022 Glen Carlou Cabernet Sauvignon offers impressive blackcurrant aromas, complemented by evolving notes of cherry and cigar box. On the palate, ripe blackberry and cherry flavors are framed by subtle mint and dark chocolate complexities. Finely grained, concentrated tannins support the volume and weight of fruit, leading to an integrated wine of great depth.
Food Pairing
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and mature cheeses. Its rich fruit flavors and balanced acidity complement dishes such as venison, beef, and lamb.
