Glen Carlou Petite Classique Malbec Blend 750 ml

In the Glass

This blend of Malbec and Merlot is beautifully silky with soft tannins and a long layered finish. Dark chocolate, blackcurrant, and almond flavours frame a smooth mouthfeel. The nose entices with vibrant berry and plum aromas. Johnnie Calitz (winemaker)

In the Vineyard

Optimum conditions within the vines canopy was a focus viticultural practise within the vineyards. A meticulous green harvest was undertaken shortly after veraison to ensure even ripening and concentration of flavours. The grapes were hand harvested in the mornings of the second week of February 2018. Marius Cloete (viticulturist)
