Description
Description
Glenelly’s signature red blend, crafted from Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. Rich cassis and mulberry aromas with cedar and tobacco reveal Cabernet as the backbone, while the mid-palate shows red and black cherry with hints of black pepper from Syrah. Intense fruit flavours are layered with mocha, Christmas cake, sandalwood, and leather, balanced by fresh acidity and firm tannins, finishing clean and dry.
Vineyard & Terroir
Estate vineyards in Stellenbosch, South Africa. A late but cold winter and warm spring/summer ensured small berries, lower yields, and concentrated flavour in the grapes.
Winemaking
Hand-sorted grapes lightly crushed and cold-soaked for three days before natural fermentation. Extended skin contact for 2–3 weeks. Matured for 18 months in French oak barrels with malolactic fermentation, racked every four months.
Tasting Notes
Rich cassis, mulberry, cedar, tobacco, mocha, Christmas cake, black pepper spice, firm tannins, clean finish.
Food Pairing
Perfect with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
Grape Variety
Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc
