“Cabernet Sauvignon’s vibrant red fruit and cassis combines with Cabernet Franc’s tobacco leaf and bell pepper set against the backdrop of Merlot’s soft plum and vanilla spice frame. Explosive evolving aromas of ripe black berries, plush red fruit and cedarwood develop in the glass. The full bodied and complex palate is brimming with dark fruit and peppermint chocolate, alongside of integrated tannins and a luxuriant finish. A wine of great pedigree which was recognised as a 95-pointer Gold Medal winner in the Decanter 2022 Awards”. Johnnie Calitz (Cellarmaster)

The 3 vineyards, on the slopes of the Simonsberg, which yielded fruit for this blend are drip irrigated and trained on a 5 wire Perold trellis system. Planted in selected sites suited for each variety, the soils consist of weathered granite and “koffieklip”. Quality and concentration show with the low yields on the 2019 vintage, due in part to the 4th consecutive dry season and below-average winter rainfalls in the Cape Winelands.

Glen Carlou

Nestled in the Simonsberg-Paarl hills of South Africa’s Western Cape, Glen Carlou has crafted premium wines since 1988. Our 145-hectare estate, rooted in ancient granite, quartz, and koffieklip soils, produces wines of purity and balance, most notably Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Beyond wine, we are a destination for art and cuisine, welcoming visitors worldwide. Led by Cellarmaster Johnnie Calitz, our flagship Quartz Stone Chardonnay, Gravel Quarry Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grand Classique embody refined craftsmanship.
