Glenelly Glass Collection Cabernet Franc 2015 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R275
‘The second release of a Cabernet Franc under the Glass Collection label is a serious, age worthy affair: firm and quite sturdy, it has plenty of acidity, notes of graphite and damson and supporting oak. 2019-25’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 91/100
‘The wine displays a deep rich colour with a purple tinge on the edge. The nose entices with its garrigue character of dried thyme, oregano and cape fynbos. The palate is dominated by aromas of dark cherries, blueberries and graphite, which gives it great interest. The tannins are silky and the finish is long and smooth.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | Glenelly was established in 2003 with a clear vision to produce long-ageing fine wine. It was started by May de Lencquesaing, previous owner of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Bordeaux. Much work has gone into the vineyards, cellar and winemaking but, more notably, their old-world patience has contributed to the wines. The winery is environmentally friendly and the vineyards are managed with minimal intervention and sustainable techniques. |
