Tasting Note

The 2013 vintage is all about elegance with underlying power. Bold aromas of blackberries, cranberry and blackcurrant are followed by hints of savoury, spicy plum with touches of cedar and floral tones. The palate entry has good richness with fine tannin supported by the ripe fresh fruit and hints of spice. Very balanced oak integration with a fresh long finish

Product Notes

Glenelly Estate Reserve Red Blend is an exceptional wine known for its complexity and elegance. The wine is created by blending the traditional Bordeaux varieties; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. These grapes are sourced from Glenelly's estate vineyards located in the picturesque Stellenbosch region of South Africa. The wine has a deep ruby color and an intense, complex nose, with aromas of dark fruit, spices, and oak. On the palate, it's rich and full-bodied with flavors of black cherry, cassis, and hints of tobacco and vanilla. The tannins are firm and well-structured, giving the wine a long, elegant finish. This wine is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, stews, and rich, hearty dishes.

About the Winery

Glenelly

The history of Glenelly dates back to 1783. It was when the first wine with its stamp got released in the market. Located on Simonsberg’s southern slopes in Stellenbosch, the winery’s records start under the ownership and leadership of May-Eliane de Lencquesaing. She realised and recognised the immense potential that the land held and focused all her energy and efforts on developing the estate and its vineyards. After overseeing and managing exhaustive studies on the property and the weather conditions, the founder planted several grape varieties. They consisted of Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Chardonnay.
