Glenelly Estate Lady May Red Stellenbosch

Supple and rich in the mouth, this wine is bursting with flavors of ripe, dark berries, spice, cocoa, and a hint of pepper. With complexity and a long, pleasant finish. In 2003, a new chapter in the history of Glenelly began, when the property was acquired by May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, former owner of the fabled Bordeaux Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. In 2009, construction was completed on Glenelly’s winery building, a state-of-the-art facility anchored in a hillside and operating completely on gravity flow principles.
