Glen Carlou Winery: A Showcase of South African Winemaking Excellence
Situated in the picturesque Paarl wine region, Glen Carlou Winery has been crafting premium wines since 1985. With a focus on quality and sustainability, the estate is renowned for producing wines that capture the essence of its unique terroir.
Glen Carlou’s flagship varietal is Chardonnay, particularly the sought-after Quartz Stone Chardonnay, known for its rich complexity, citrus and stone fruit flavours, and well-integrated oak influence. Their classic Chardonnay also delivers a beautifully balanced expression with bright acidity and a creamy texture.
For red wine lovers, Cabernet Sauvignon takes centre stage at Glen Carlou. Their prestigious single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon offers deep black fruit flavours, structured tannins, and excellent ageing potential. Meanwhile, the Graval Quarry, a refined Bordeaux-style blend, features Cabernet Sauvignon as the dominant grape, layered with dark berries, spice, and elegant oak integration.
Committed to sustainable winemaking, Glen Carlou employs eco-friendly viticulture and cellar practices to ensure the highest quality while preserving the environment. The winery’s tasting room and restaurant provide visitors with a memorable experience, offering breathtaking vineyard views and expertly paired wines.
For those seeking a true taste of South African excellence, Glen Carlou’s Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon wines are a must-try.
