Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The Glen Carlou The Collection Petite Syrah is a fascinating red wine that makes every tasting an unforgettable experience. As soon as it is poured, it impresses with its deep violet color, which arouses anticipation for the taste experience. When you hold the glass to your nose, you are greeted by an intense aroma of ripe blackberries and juicy black cherries. A fine note of cedarwood and spicy spices complements the bouquet and gives the wine a complex depth.
On the palate, the Glen Carlou The Collection Petite Syrah shows itself at its best. It is dry and powerful, yet harmonious and balanced. The fruitiness, reminiscent of dark forest fruits, continues and is accompanied by a fine spiciness. The tannins are robust but well integrated, providing a velvety texture. This wine is characterized by a remarkable balance between power and elegance, culminating in a long, smooth finish.

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.
