DESCRIPTION
Glenelly Lady May 2019 is the flagship wine of the Glenelly estate, founded in 2003 by May de Lencquesaing in the Simonsberg mountains of Stellenbosch. This 2019 vintage, crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon (75%) and completed with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, benefited from 24 months of aging in French oak barrels. The estate is organically farmed on clay-limestone, shale, and granitic soils.
On the nose, this wine offers a profile of black berries enhanced by hints of mocha and cedar. On the palate, the fruit flavors combine with silky tannins to create a long and refined finish. At the table, it pairs ideally with a beef filet mignon or a lamb tagine with prunes and almonds. Best served between 14 and 16°C, it has an aging potential of 15 to 20 years.
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 South African red that doesn't try to do too much: well-defined black fruits, an elegant oaky touch, and real presence on the palate. You can truly feel the care given to the vines.
