Glenelly
Winemaker Dirk and assistant Lehandri endeavour to make Glenelly wines as naturally as possible with wild yeast fermentation and little to no acidification. The team follows a minimal intervention approach to winemaking yet intensive sorting and care is taken when receiving the grapes. We use France’s most recognised coopers (mostly from Taransaud, Boutes and Sylvain) to ensure a gentle and precise elevage, preserving the identity of the terroir of Glenelly. Hygiene is of utmost importance in the cellar and a combination of both hot water and ozonated water is used for cleaning.
Description
The Estate Reserve is the "Signature Blend" of Glenelly. It combines the rich, savoury character of Syrah, ripe fruit and hints of pepper-spice with the specific flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon, blackberries, cherries, cassis and floral tones. It is supported by a firm tannin structure with elegant oak integration. The palate presents a tremendous concentration of flavours with a great complexity and a fresh long finish.
Food Pairing
Grilled Lamb or Grass Fed Beef.
