WINE DESCRIPTION
Experience the epitome of South African winemaking with Glen Carlou Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc. Crafted with precision and care, this wine showcases the unique terroir of the region. Grapes are harvested in three stages of ripening, revealing a spectrum of flavors from fresh citrus and gooseberry to tropical complexity. Hand-picked and treated reductively, the grapes yield juice that is fermented in stainless steel tanks with specially selected yeasts. The result is a medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc with a vivid lemon-lime color, boasting layers of tropical fruit, green pepper, and floral freshness, balanced by a vibrant natural acidity.
