Glenelly Wines

Glenelly Estate in the Idas Valley, Stellenbosch, is the home estate of May de Lencquesaing, previous owner of Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Bordeaux. This is no retirement home, but an ambitious project to make serious wines in one of the Cape's most beautiful and best sited vineyard areas. May has recruited Luke O'Cuinneagain as winemaker, whose career includes Chateau Fieuzal, Angelus, Screaming Eagle and five years at Rustenberg before joining Glenelly. He is assisted by Adi Badenhost as consultant winemaker. There are three ranges of wine made at the estate. The 'Glass Collection'; premium varietals from Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot and Chardonnay. The 'Grand Vin': the signature blend of the estate, using Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, aged 18 month in oak barrels. 'Lady May'; the flagship wine (yet to be released) made of the best Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 24 months in new oak.



Other reviews and comments

Billed as Stellenbosch's most 'feminine' Cabernet Sauvignon, this certainly is immediately very seductive and very elegant. Fine on the nose, with whiffs of oak (24 months in new Taransaud oak 'barriques'), blackberry fruit and just a note of mint, without a hint of the leafiness so often associated with SA Cabernet. On the palate this exudes Bordeaux class with a touch more ripeness to both the fruit and tannins that you might find in the Medoc... (more info)
