Glenelly Lady May is the undisputed flagship of the Glenelly Winery! An absolute highlight from South Africa's renowned wine growing region Stellenbosch. In classic Bordeaux style, this highly endowed wine, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, presents itself in a juicy and refined style with distinct minerality and an underlying fruit intensity. Complex nuances of cassis, ripe mulberries, graphite, fine spices and cedar wood pamper the senses and give full-bodied pleasure. A fresh and stylish red wine cuvée, which ends with elegant restraint and dense tannin in a long and tight finish.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were first lightly crushed and then filled into stainless steel tanks, where fermentation took place using only natural yeasts. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine spent 2-3 weeks on the skin and was then gently pressed. Malolactic fermentation took place in French barriques, where the wine was allowed to mature for a further 24 months before bottling. During the ageing period, the wine was clarified with natural protein and later bottled.
