Tasting notes
The Glen Carlou Quartz Stone Chardonnay presents itself in the glass in a beautiful golden-yellow color and already promises a special experience. The nose is dominated by seductive aromas of juicy peach, followed by refreshing citrus notes that give a lively freshness. A subtle spiciness rounds out the bouquet and adds depth to the wine.
On the palate, this Chardonnay unfolds with an impressive long-lasting fruitiness and a creamy texture. The peach aromas continue and harmoniously merge with the citrus notes, achieving a balanced fragrance-versus-body between freshness and richness. The creamy texture gives the wine a pleasant softness and leads to a long, fruity finish that pampers the palate and underscores the charm of this wine. The Glen Carlou Quartz Stone Chardonnay is a true delight for discerning wine lovers.
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.
