Glenelly Lady May

The Lady May is the centerpiece of Glenelly Estate – a Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon that bears the signature of its founder and brings aging potential for many years.

Behind the winery is May de Lencquesaing, former owner of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in the Médoc. After her time in the Bordelais, she founded Glenelly Estate at the foot of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch – with the declared goal of producing Bordeaux-like wines from South African terroir. The Lady May is her personal answer to this question.

A dense ruby red appears in the glass. On the nose, cassis, black plum, and a hint of graphite, plus subtle cedar and tobacco notes from barrel aging. On the palate, medium to full body, fine-grained tannins with real texture, supported acidity, and a long, spicy finish with hints of dark chocolate.

Recommendation: Decant and serve at 17–18 °C. Pairs with seared lamb loin, braised beef, or spicy hard cheese.

Glenelly Estate

Imagine: A French winemaker with over 30 years of experience in Bordeaux – she managed the famous Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande – embarks on a new adventure in South Africa at the age of 78. That is exactly what Glenelly Estate is.

In 2003, Madame May de Lencquesaing purchased a piece of land at the foot of Simonsberg in Stellenbosch . Here, French elegance meets South African sunshine. The red wines? Powerful and elegant with notes of cassis, plum, and cedar. The white wines? Juicy, round, and full of character.

A piece of Bordeaux in Stellenbosch that takes you on a journey with every sip. Try it – you won't regret it.
