Glen Carlou Chardonnay showcases the estate’s elegant, fruit-forward style. Aromas of lemon zest, ripe pear and melon are layered with hints of toasted almond and vanilla from careful oak maturation. The palate is textured yet fresh, with partial malolactic fermentation lending a gentle creaminess that complements the bright natural acidity. Oak is used judiciously to add complexity without dominating the fruit, resulting in a harmonious, approachable Chardonnay that is versatile at the table and expressive of its Western Cape origins.
This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay sourced from vineyards in Paarl and surrounding Western Cape sites. It is typically fermented in a combination of stainless steel and French oak barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation to enhance texture, resulting in a dry, medium- to full-bodied style with balanced acidity and integrated oak.
Glen Carlou is committed to sustainable viticulture and is accredited by South Africa’s Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) scheme, which promotes environmentally responsible farming practices.
