Please login to see prices.
A refined Cabernet Sauvignon offering blackcurrant, cassis, and subtle cedar notes, with firm tannins and a long, elegant finish.
Glen Carlou Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the estate’s signature balance of power and elegance. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dark cherry are complemented by hints of cedar, tobacco, and subtle spice from French oak maturation. The palate is full-bodied yet smooth, with structured tannins supporting concentrated fruit flavors and balanced acidity. This Cabernet is versatile at the table, pairing well with rich meats and mature cheeses, and it develops further complexity with careful cellaring, rewarding those who appreciate a classic, expressive South African Cabernet.
“Ripe blackberry and cherry aromas follow through onto the palate, framing mint and dark chocolate complexity. Fine silky rounded tannins and delightfully lively pomegranate-like acidity contribute to the volume and weight of fruit exploding across the palate, lending tremendous depth and length of flavour”. (Johnnie Calitz - Winemaker)
