Glen Carlou Quartz Stone Chardonnay 2024

GC001v24
Please login to see prices.
A poised, quartz-driven Chardonnay showing citrus purity, subtle stone fruit and a fine thread of minerality, with elegant oak integration and a long, refined finish.
Quartz Stone Chardonnay is crafted from select vineyard parcels rooted in quartz-rich soils that lend the wine its distinctive mineral backbone. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach and lightly toasted almonds unfold on the nose, while the palate reveals layered citrus and stone fruit framed by well-integrated French oak. Barrel fermentation enhances texture and complexity without overshadowing freshness, and vibrant acidity carries the flavours through to a saline, lingering finish. The result is a sophisticated, terroir-expressive Chardonnay that balances richness with precision and rewards both immediate enjoyment and short- to medium-term cellaring.
