DESCRIPTION
Glenelly Lady May 2020 is the flagship cuvée of the Glenelly estate, crafted in honor of May de Lencquesaing's 100th birthday. A Bordeaux blend from the vines of Simonsberg, aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, it features 14.5% alcohol and 2.8 g/L of residual sugar.
On the nose, aromas of cassis, black cherry, and sweet spices, enhanced by subtle oaky notes. On the palate, the cuvée seduces with its concentration, fine tannins, and balanced structure, offering a long and elegant finish. Pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled red meats and slow-cooked stews.
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.
