The Mundus Vini in Germany is regarded as one of the most influential wine competitions in the world. With 11 000+ wines submitted annually, the internationally accredited panel comprises trained oenologists, sommeliers and expert speciality retailers with above-average knowledge of wine, professional journalists and scientists. Their know-how and skilful wine experience have helped establish this competition and make it known around the world. And with the recent release of awards there are three medals for Glen Carlou Vineyards for three of their wines.

An 88-point Silver medal for Petite Chardonnay 2021 is the recent release into the portfolio and is a straight up, unhindered chardonnay. “Having earned a nickname as our 8-buck chuck given the sub 10 euro/dollar/pound price segment it plays in, this sans barrique, unoaked wine does not as much as see a barrel passing its tanks in the winery!”comments Strategic Marketing Lead, Berenice Barker. “It is very much part of our chardonnay thread and reflects our consumer-centric approach to addressing market needs, for our South African home base and globally, across price point and style.”

Grand Classique 2020 is a Gold medal winner and recipient of an impressive 91 points. This is the 2nd Mundus Gold in a row for the red blend, following Gold for vintage 2018.
