Product Notes

Glenelly Lady May is an exquisite South African wine reflecting the elegance and finesse of its creator, May de Lencquesaing. A predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon blend, this wine enthrals with a nose of cassis, blackcurrant and savoury spices. Its striking palate combines finely knitted tannins, dark berries and gently integrated oak, achieving a perfect balance of power and grace. The wine's lingering finish hints of sophisticated subtleness. Noted for its ageing potential, Glenelly Lady May imparts a delightful drinking experience to the discerning wine enthusiast. A masterpiece of the Glenelly estate, it celebrates the alliance of French wine tradition and African terroir.

Tasting Notes

Balanced, refined and mineral - etched with underlining fruit power. It's fresh, stylish and subtle with dense age-worthy tannins and a long, tight finish
