DESCRIPTION

Glenelly Estate Reserve Rouge 2017 is the signature cuvée of the Glenelly estate, blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, and Petit Verdot from the varied soils (clay-limestone, shale, granitic) of Simonsberg. Fermented with whole bunches, macerated for 2 to 3 weeks, and then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, it features 14.5% alcohol and 1.71 g/L of residual sugar.

On the nose, bold aromas of cassis, plum, cedar, blond tobacco, and lightly smoky notes. On the palate, rich and wonderful with fine tannins supported by fresh, ripe fruits and hints of spice. Pairs beautifully with a moussaka, spicy kebabs, or a lamb curry.

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.
