Gourmets of Wine > Under The Grape Tree: GLEN CARLOU CHARDONNAY 2007

[Under The Grape Tree] The Mojo: The Glen Carlou Chardonnay 2007 from the Paarl in South Africa, is a remarkably affordable "best-of-both-worlds" style of Chardonnay, giving you the elegance and fruit panache of a white Burgundy, with the creamy oak presence you'd find in a California Chardonnay. 100% Chardonnay, this wine sees a majority of French oak aging, 30% of that new, with some new American oak aging for depth and character.
