Stellenbosch Wine On Sale

44% Shiraz, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 1% Petit-Verdot

Grand Vin de Glenelly is the signature red blend of the estate, the wine has a deep, dark, rich colour. The wine offers an elegant complex bouquet developing aromas of cassis, spicy plums with notes of toast in the background. The palate has a great intensity and concentration with fantastic freshness and fine elegant, but well structured tannins.
(from the producer's website)

Matured for 12 months in oak, this wine serves up a fresh bouquet of currant, cut cedar and licorice, followed on the palate by spicy, lifted flavors of dark berry, blackcurrant, plum, and a touch of dark chocolate, with impressive tannic grip on the finish. Though quite drinkable now, this clearly has the structure to reward bottle aging.
