Glen Carlou Quartz Stone Chardonnay

Der Glen Carlou Quartz Stone Chardonnay wurde über 11 Monate in neuen französischen Barriques ausgebaut. Er stammt von den ältesten Chardonnay-Reben des Weingutes Glen Carlou, die vor knapp 30 Jahren gepflanzt wurden.

Dieser trockene Weißwein duftet intensiv nach Orangen-Marmelade, Limone und reifem Steinobst sowie nach kandierter Ananas. Am Gaumen ist der Chardonnay aus der Coastal Region voll und frisch, mit einer hohen Aromaintensität.

In John Platter’s Wine Guide gibt es für diese wunderbare Kreation 4 von maximal 5 Sternen. Die 90% neuer Eichenfässer, die zum Einsatz kommen, prägen den Wein, ohne eine zu große Dominanz zu haben. Entdecken Sie einen Chardonnay, der es in sich hat. Der Glen Carlou Quartz Stone Chardonnay passt gut zu edlen Fischgerichten, Meeresfrüchten, Wildgeflügel oder einem Käsefondue.

Glen Carlou Vineyards

Die Finlaysons geben nicht so schnell auf. Ganz im Gegenteil. „Trouble makes us stronger“, sagt David Finlayson, dessen Vater Walter seiner Familie mit dem Kauf einer völlig verwahrlosten Weinfarm in Paarl 1985 reichlich „trouble“ ins Haus geholt hat.

Er hätte sich bequem auf seinen Lorbeeren als einer der angesehensten Winemaker Südafrikas ausruhen können. Wollte er aber nicht. Er wollte es mit einem eigenen Weingute ganz nach oben schaffen. Also krempelte er den ganzen Laden um, bestockte die Weinberge neu, errichtet eine hochmoderne Weinkellerei und installierte ein satellitengesteuertes Bewässerungssystem.

Seit 1994 unterstützt Sohn David, der seine Ausbildung unter anderem bei Château Margeaux in Bordeaux genoss, seinen Vater. Gemeinsam haben sie es ganz nach oben geschafft. Unter Kellermeister David Finlayson ist Glen Carlou zur Spitze der Weinerzeuger aufgestiegen schreibt Weinpapst Hugh Johnson. Das südafrikanische Wine Magazin zählt Glen Carlou zu den 10 besten Weingütern des Landes. Und Südafrikas berühmtester Weinkritiker John Platter überschüttet das Gut seit Jahren mit seinen heißbegehrten Sternen.

This white wine matured for eight months in oak, with more than 90 percent French barrels being used (almost a quarter new barrels).Try the Napa Cellars Chardonnay with French soft cheese with honey or panna cotta with fresh berries. A real taste experience from California.
