Glen Carlou
The Winery Winery Glen Carlou in the sun-drenched Simonsberg-Paarl region in South Africa has built an excellent reputation under the guidance of cellar master Johnnie Calitz Known for its outstanding wines, especially its much-praised Chardonnay, which regularly receives top awards. The distinctive soils and unique microclimate make it possible to produce wines with character and finesse.
Besides the aforementioned South African Chardonnay Glen Carlou also excels with its red wines. These include impressive creations made with South African Cabernet Sauvignon, South African Merlot and the distinctly South African variety South African Pinotage.
The winery's philosophy of producing high-quality wines is affirmed by its consistent awards at national and international competitions. A visit to Glen Carlou is always an experience for discerning wine lovers.
From Paarl in South Africa, Glen Carlou makes a real statement with this 2018 Malbec. Spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts in an open fermenter using pure free-run juice, the wine was aged in French oak for 26 months after cold maceration, then further aged in bottle. The result is an extraordinarily concentrated powerhouse that radiates pure depth and warmth. It opens with opulent fruit on the nose: ripe cassis, juicy plums and black cherries meet cedarwood and delicate smoke. These are joined by hints of dark Chocolate, tobacco and eucalyptus, subtly underpinned by liquorice and freshly ground black pepper. Dry on the palate and exceptionally powerful at 15% alcohol, it remains focused thanks to a harmonious thread of acidity. Its firm, tightly knit tannins coat the mouth with velvety softness, carrying the bittersweet dark Chocolate through to an endlessly long, warm, spicy finish.
