Glen Carlou
Glen Carlou Vineyards is minutes away from the university town of Stellenbosch and less than 35 minutesโ drive from Cape Town. Situated in the Simonsberg-Paarl region of South Africaโs Western Cape, our estate was transformed from being a dairy farm in 1985 to a wine farm. Walter Finlayson acquired the property known as โLen Carlouโ. 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.

This Chardonnay offers a wonderfully fruity bouquet with aromas of apples, gooseberries, and ripe pears, complemented by notes of lemon cream, pineapple, vanilla, and butterscotch. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, fresh, and stimulating, with balanced acidity, a lovely length, and impressive finesse.
Food Pairing
This Chardonnay pairs well with fried scampi or mussels in white wine, enhancing the wine's fresh and fruity profile.
