WINE DESCRIPTION
Glen Carlou Grand Classique Red Blend is a premium wine produced by Glen Carlou, a renowned winery located in the Paarl appellation of South Africa. This wine is a blend of different grape varieties, carefully selected from the vineyards of the region. The vineyards are situated at high altitudes, which allows for a longer ripening period and results in grapes with intense flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-picking and sorting of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels to add complexity and depth to the final product. The style of this wine is elegant and refined, with a perfect balance of fruitiness and tannins, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.
