Glenelly Glass Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Glenelly Estate sits on the southern slopes of the Simonsberg in the Stellenbosch wine region, where cool mountain breezes and varied soils give Cabernet Sauvignon vibrant lift and pure varietal expression. Founded by Bordeaux native May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, Glenelly blends French winemaking heritage with South African terroir - aiming for wines that balance fruit clarity with structural finesse. The Glass Collection reflects this philosophy, drawing from diverse vineyard parcels, fermented naturally and matured in French oak to showcase elegant fruit and refined texture.
Colour: A medium to deep ruby with youthful brightness, clear and inviting.
Nose: Lifted aromas of blackcurrant and cassis pastille lead, supported by hints of red berry, leafy nuances and a touch of spice complexity.
Palate: Medium-bodied with juicy dark fruit core balanced by lively acidity. Refined tannins frame the wine, giving structure without heaviness, while subtle herbal and cedar undertones add dimension.
Finish: A clean, moderately long finish where blackcurrant and gentle oak whispers linger pleasantly.

Glenelly Glass Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
- Food Pairing : Glenelly Glass Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 works beautifully with robust, flavour-forward dishes. Think herb-crusted roast lamb or grilled beef fillet - the wine’s tannic structure and acidity cut through richness while complementing savoury herbs. A mushroom and caramelised onion pie or a slow-braised oxtail casserole will echo the wine’s darker fruit and subtle spice, creating harmony on the plate. A mature cheddar or aged gouda are excellent cheese matches that bring out the wine’s depth without overwhelming it.
