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.

Glen Carlou Chardonnay
This Chardonnay from South Africa has a wonderfully fruity bouquet offering aromas of apples, gooseberries and ripe pears, along with notes of lemon cream and pineapple and nuances of vanilla and butterscotch as well.

The rest of the barrels were fourth-fill casks, giving the white wine only subliminal but wonderfully harmonious notes of wood. The wine’s fruitiness remains predominant.This white wine from Paarl, South Africa, is a good accompaniment to fried scampi or mussels in white wine.
