ICON WINES REFLECTING THE TERROIR
An ultra-premium range showcasing Glen Carlou’s unique conditions and the painstaking care that accompanies each step of the winemaking process. Only two exclusive wines are available:
Glen Carlou Quartz Stone Chardonnay
This limited-release wine derives its name from a single, mature vineyard planted in soils containing a generous percentage of quartz stone shards.
A buttery-rich wine with an abundance of ripe peach and citrus flavours, complemented by a touch of toasted hazelnut.

Glen Carlou Gravel Quarry
Cabernet Sauvignon
A classic Cabernet Sauvignon named after the distinctive gravel soils in which the vines are planted and the old quarry site where the winery stands today.
Superbly balanced with a rich bouquet of blackberry, mulberry and spicy oak supported by firm, supple tannins.

Glen Carlou "The Welder"
The name of this wine is a tribute to our winemaker, Arco Laarman. Known to his friends as Arc's, he has also been given the nickname the Arc Welder by the staff at Glen Carlou. So, when Arco suggested he would like to make a sweet wine, the name of the wine was decided as "The Welder"!
This wine will age exceptionally well and show fuller flavours as it develops. To be enjoyed with cheese, preserves and sweet dessert.
