Product Notes

Glenelly Estate Reserve Red Blend wine is a splendid South African vine marvel. This luxurious concoction exhibits exquisite layers of ripe blackberry, rich vanilla and subtle spice notes. Sustainably crafted from selective red grape varieties in the sun-kissed terrains of Stellenbosch, it has an opulent full-bodied elegance and intricate flavour profile. An ageing potential of 12 years amplifies its depth and complexity, rendering a harmonious balance between fruit and oak. The sophisticated palate and velvet aftertaste make it a perfect accompaniment to robust meals. Glenelly Estate Reserve Red Blend is a grand fusion of tradition and modernity, symbolising wine-making at its finest.

Tasting Notes

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
