Glen Carlou Vineyards

Die Finlaysons geben nicht so schnell auf. Ganz im Gegenteil. „Trouble makes us stronger“, sagt David Finlayson, dessen Vater Walter seiner Familie mit dem Kauf einer völlig verwahrlosten Weinfarm in Paarl 1985 reichlich „trouble“ ins Haus geholt hat.

Er hätte sich bequem auf seinen Lorbeeren als einer der angesehensten Winemaker Südafrikas ausruhen können. Wollte er aber nicht. Er wollte es mit einem eigenen Weingute ganz nach oben schaffen. Also krempelte er den ganzen Laden um, bestockte die Weinberge neu, errichtet eine hochmoderne Weinkellerei und installierte ein satellitengesteuertes Bewässerungssystem.

Seit 1994 unterstützt Sohn David, der seine Ausbildung unter anderem bei Château Margeaux in Bordeaux genoss, seinen Vater. Gemeinsam haben sie es ganz nach oben geschafft. Unter Kellermeister David Finlayson ist Glen Carlou zur Spitze der Weinerzeuger aufgestiegen schreibt Weinpapst Hugh Johnson. Das südafrikanische Wine Magazin zählt Glen Carlou zu den 10 besten Weingütern des Landes. Und Südafrikas berühmtester Weinkritiker John Platter überschüttet das Gut seit Jahren mit seinen heißbegehrten Sternen.

Der Rust en Vrede Estate ist ein Cuvee aus den Rebsorten Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah und Merlot. Der dominierende Cabernet gibt dem Wein herrliche Noten von schwarzer Johannisbeere und weiteren dunklen Früchten wie Heidelbeere. Der Syrah sorgt für eine schöne Würze mit erdigen Aromen. Der Merlot steuert sanfte florale Aromen von Veilchen und Jasmin bei. Eine Kombination, die am Gaumen wirklich Spaß macht. Die Farbe ist purpurrot und in der Nase finden sich Noten von frischem Leder, Tabak, Maulbeeren und Waldboden wieder. Der langanhaltende Abgang wird durch samtig weiche Tannine bestimmt.Der Rust en Vrede Estate reifte 18 Monate in 100% französischen Fässern, die mittelstark getoastet waren. Dadurch erhält der Wein einen schönen runden Körper und eine feste Struktur. Die moderate Säure balanciert die Trockenheit wunderbar aus.Ergänzend zu Wildgerichten aller Art ein wirklicher Genuss.
