Tasting notes
The Natural Sweet Chenin Blanc from the Winery Glen Carlou is a truly remarkable white wine that delights the senses with its enticing aromas of dried apricot, honey, and oranges. This wine presents itself bright and lively in the glass, already indicating a refreshing taste experience.
With the first sip, a rich texture unfolds, permeated by the sweetness of apricots and the warm, enveloping taste of honey. The fruity notes are accompanied by a pleasant acidity, giving the wine a perfect balance. The aromas of oranges impart a refreshing citrus note to this Chenin Blanc, further enriching its flavor spectrum.
The Maturation in stainless steel tanks gives this wine its freshness and purity, allowing the natural aromas of the Chenin Blanc to stand out. The result is a harmonious interplay of sweetness and acidity, making this wine an excellent companion for various culinary experiences.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
