The Glen Carlou Merlot 2023 is a standout expression of South African Merlot from the Simonsberg-Paarl region. This vintage has already gained recognition, winning a Gold Award at the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards. 

Tasting Profile: Described by the winery as complex yet elegant, the 2023 vintage offers a bouquet of fresh red berries and cinnamon. On the palate, it unfolds with raspberries, sweet cherries, and subtle hints of mint and vanilla, leading to a juicy blackberry aftertaste balanced by notes of plum and cassis.

Winemaking: Fruit is sourced from six vineyards situated on Oak Leaf and Glenrosa soils. The wine is aged in seasoned French oak barriques for 14 months, resulting in rounded acidity and a silky-smooth mid-palate.

Food Pairing: Its versatile nature makes it a perfect companion for roasted lamb, hearty beef stews, gourmet burgers, or savory pasta dishes.
