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
โOur 100% Single Vineyard Chardonnay is abundant with complex aromas of citrus, white peach, fragrant spices and buttered toast. Tantalising and distinctive lime and lemon, green apple and peach stone fruit notes evolve on the mid-palate, which follow through to an extended aftertaste. Evoking its quartz soil identity, the discreet mid palate minerality lends a further dimension to a captivating wineโ. (Johnnie Calitz โ winemaker)
