Madame de Lencquesaing made Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Pauillac, one of Bordeauxs most sought after châteaux and has taken her immense skill and talent to her Glenelly Estate in South Africa. The Glenelly Estate Reserve Red and Glenelly Reserve Chardonnay are both delicious wines of the highest quality and a tribute to one of the great winemaking icons for the past 50 years.

Although octogenarian, Madame de Lencquesaing (pictured) was not prepared for retirement. Rather, she would apply her considerable experience gained among Bordelais elites to the soils, microclimates and terroir potential in Glenelly Estates 128 hectares which are set in Stellenbosch, the heart of South African wine making.

How does the wine taste? Customer Reviews (0)

The signature red blend of Glenelly, combining the rich and savoury, peppery character of the Syrah with Cabernet Sauvignon’s blackberries, cherries and floral spices and with touches of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Fine tannins, lifted by fresh, ripe fruit and seductive spice aromas.

"Glowing mid garnet. A little herbaceous on the nose with sweet palate entry and firm attack with some light tannins still on the palate. Light chewiness gives it definition. Bright fruit."

Jancis Robinson MW

"Ripe blackberries and blueberry pie with hints of black olives, licorice and wet soil. Medium-bodied with soft tannins and a round mouth-feel. Fruity and flavorful."
