Glenelly, Lady May, Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
DESCRIPTION
Glenelly Estate is a wine estate in Ida's Valley on the southern slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Lady May is Glenelly’s flagship Estate wine. Elegant and complex, the wine develops flavours of blackcurrant, dark cherry, with a touch of graphite and delicate spicy plum. Fresh and vibrant, the evolution of the wine introduces flavours specific to Glenelly’s terroir. Deeply coloured and perfectly balanced, this wine displays an exquisite structure with velvety tannins. It will age quite nicely.
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.
