Glenelly Hill...

May de Lencquesaing has always believed in the potential and quality of South African wine. In 2003, she acquired 60 hectares of vineyards in the heart of Stellenbosch and has applied, since then, to this beautiful property the same care and dedication she has given to Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.

Grape Varieties: 57% Shiraz, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot.

Harvest Report: Good rains in early spring followed a generally cooler and drier winter than normal. Flowering and berry set stages went off homogenously. Ripening was slow and the harvest slightly later than in 2003.

Wine Making: The grapes are lightly crushed into stainless steel tanks, and fermentation is started immediately. After fermentation, the grapes were left on the skins for 3 weeks before pressing. Malolactic fermentation took place in French oak barrels before the blend was made and aged for 12 months in the same barrels (1/3 new oak, 1/3 one year old, 1/3 two years old barrels).

Tasting Notes: Glenelly Hill 2004 is showing a bright and deep colour, with some flavours of red fruits and spices nicely supported by velvety tannins. This wine is well balanced, elegant with a lot of length and delicacy.
