Elegant and complex, Glenelly's flagship wine develops flavours of cassis, blackcurrant, dark cherry, a touch of graphite and delicate, spicy plum fruit. Fresh and vibrant, Lady May is the definitive introduction to Glenelly's terroir. Deeply coloured and perfectly balanced, the wine displays an exquisite structure and velvety tannins, easily giving it the capability to evolve gracefully over the next 12-15 years.
"Right up there with the best Stellenbosch Bordeaux-style blends from the exceptional 2017 vintage, this is a distinguished, patrician wine where everything is in place: tannins, acidity, oak and fruit concentration. Marrying Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it has iodine and mint aromas, red berry and cassis flavours, subtle vanilla spice and impressive underlying structure. A red to cellar."
97/100, Tim Atkin MW
From the highest echelons of the Bordeaux hierarchy, as former owner of Pauillac second growth Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande, the indefatigable May-Éliane de Lencquesaing brought a lifetime of wine knowledge and passion to Stellenbosch. With skilled winemaker Luke O'Cuinneagain at the helm, Glenelly Estate offers wines with Bordeaux-inspired structure and fine, New World richness.
"She will be giving her old Deuxième Cru a run for its money soon (and let's not even think about comparing prices!)"
Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (of Glenelly's proprietor May-Éliane de Lencquesaing)
