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.
Description
The 2022 Glen Carlou Grand Classique presents a rich and complex profile. The nose reveals integrated cassis and blackberry fruits, complemented by hints of cinnamon and spice. On the palate, it offers ripe and concentrated briary fruit, with cherry and chocolate flavors enhancing the richness. The wine concludes with a long finish, balanced by fine tannins and harmonious acidity.
Food Pairing
This Bordeaux-style blend pairs excellently with robust dishes such as medium-rare roast beef or other red meats. Its structure and depth also complement game meats and hearty stews.
