DESCRIPTION
Glenelly Lady May 2018 is the flagship wine of the Glenelly estate, blending 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot from the varied soils 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 with herbs.
REGION
Stellenbosch
South Africa
Stellenbosch is undoubtedly South Africa’s most prestigious wine region. 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 surrounding mountains. Its varied terroir – granite, shale, and sandy soils – allows for the production of both powerful red wines and elegant whites.
While Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blends (with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot) have built its reputation, Stellenbosch is also renowned for its refined Chenin Blancs, distinctive Chardonnays, and expressive Syrahs. Home to many iconic estates, this appellation remains a showcase of South African winemaking expertise.
