Glenelly Estate Lady May 2019 75cl

Glenelly’s flagship estate wine, a Bordeaux-style red blend from Stellenbosch. Composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, it reveals rich dark berry aromas with hints of mocha and cedar. The palate offers sweet fruit flavours, smooth tannins, and a long, refined finish, reflecting the elegance and purity of the vintage.. Vineyard & TerroirSourced from Glenelly’s estate vineyards on the Simonsberg, Stellenbosch. Cold, wet winters replenished soil moisture, while a cooler growing season and extended ripening period contributed to the wine’s finesse..
