DESCRIPTION
Glenelly Lady May 2017 is the flagship wine of the Glenelly estate, blending 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot from the varied soils (clay-limestone, shale, granitic) of Simonsberg. Fermented and aged on the lees in French oak barrels for 24 months, it features 14.5% alcohol and 2.1 g/L of residual sugar.
On the nose, seductive aromas of cassis and blackberries, enhanced by floral and spicy nuances. On the palate, an underlying fruit intensity accompanied by dense tannins well-suited for aging, and a long, tightly knit finish. Pairs beautifully with a beef filet mignon Rossini or grilled lamb chops.
REGION
Stellenbosch
South Africa
Stellenbosch is arguably the most prestigious wine region in South Africa. Located in the coastal region of the Western Cape, east of Cape Town, it enjoys a Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes and sheltered by the surrounding mountains. Its varied terroir of granite, schist and sandy soils makes it possible to produce both powerful reds and elegant whites.
While Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends (with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) built its reputation, Stellenbosch is also known for its refined Chenin Blanc, distinguished Chardonnay and expressive Syrah. Home to many iconic estates, the appellation remains a showcase of South African craft.
Recommended for you:
A great cuvée that commands attention with character: fruit, density, and an impressive length.
