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 Glen Carlou Pinot Noir Rosé 2023 presents a light and appealing pink hue. On the nose, it offers pronounced aromas of fresh strawberries, citrus, and passion fruit. These fruity notes are complemented by a subtle hint of rose petal. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a delicate balance between fresh acidity and a slightly creamy texture. The flavors include fresh lime, watermelon, and more of the strawberry and citrus that come through in the aroma. The finish is crisp and refreshing, making it an excellent choice for warm weather.
Food Pairing
This rosé is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. Ideal pairings include summer salads, light seafood dishes like grilled prawns, and berry-focused desserts. It is also an excellent accompaniment to light appetizers or can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing aperitif.
