Glen Carlou6x Syrah 2021

About

Glen Carlou is situated in the Simonsberg-Paarl region of South Africa’s Western Cape. The vineyard blocks encompass a variety of slopes and aspects - each is nurtured according to its own unique potential, respecting the natural cycles of the vines. Our 145-hectare property transferred back to local ownership when in 2016, Glen Carlou was purchased by a South African family consortium.
