The Character

Tasting Notes The wine shows an elegant minerality with lime-citrus, sourdough and cinnamon flavours. The tight minerality keeps a wonderful acid grip on the palate showing good aging potential. A floral note of wild, white flowers such as frangipani and almond blossom is obvious on the front of the nose and follows through the palate.
Pairings Paella, quail, and pork

About David Finlayson

Producer Story

The Finlayson family is synonymous with modern era winemaking in the Cape region.

Three generations of Finlayson's have played an important role in the Cape's modern wine industry.

Dr Maurice Finlayson, a pathologist originally from Inverness in Scotland started the family wine business at Hartenberg farm in Stellenbosch.

It was here that his son Walter started his career that would take him on to Blaauwklippen where he twice won the award of "South African winemaker of the year".

Walter then started and built up Glen Carlou in Paarl and was joined by his son David in 1994.

David qualified as a winemaker at Elsenburg Agricultural college in Stellenbosch as Dux student and then proceeded to travel the world gaining winemaking experience.
