Reviews

Romazini: 5/5 Stars

Powerfull with a lively touch. One of the most solid South African Chardonnays in the last few years.

The Winespectator: 88/100 Points

Vintage 2009: This tasty white shows pear, fig and apple notes that are lightly toasty and well-defined, lingering with a fresh edge on the finish. Drink now.

The Winemaker

Vibrant green with a light yellow hue. Citrus notes with hints of green apples and a fine trace of oak.
The palate is full with soft mouth feel. The mid-palate flavours are reminiscent of stone and citrus fruits, with subtle vanilla undertones from the oak. The finish is clean and fresh with a lingering flavour of lemon drops.

This is our winemaker's favourite varietal to work with, and Chardonnay is also the wine that Glen Carlou is most renowned for. Enjoy on its own or with mushroom or seafood dishes.

Stephen Tanzer: 88/100 Points

Vintage 2009: Full straw-yellow color. Musky lees, vanilla and nutty oak over fresh peach on the nose. Round, silky and rich, with good lift for all its oak. The flavors of peach and brown spices show good palate presence. Finishes with a dusting of oak spices.
