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.
Description
The Glen Carlou Petite Classique 2022 offers a medium-bodied profile, highlighted by velvety tannins and a lush, elegant texture. It features layered flavors of red cherries, plums, and blackcurrants, complemented by almond and hints of vibrant mint. The palate also showcases subtle nuances of soft spices, providing complexity and a long, satisfying finish. The wine is noted for its immediate accessibility and balanceโ.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, pasta with tomato-based sauces, and hard cheeses. Its balanced acidity and fruity profile make it versatile enough for casual meals as well as more refined dining settingsโ.
