The estate was revitalised in 2003 by May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, formerly of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Bordeaux, bringing an Old World sensibility to South African terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"405\" data-end=\"889\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"1280\"\u003eThe Glenelly Unoaked Chardonnay 2024 reflects a deliberate stylistic choice: purity over embellishment. Grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel using natural yeasts, with no malolactic fermentation. This preserves the wine’s natural acidity and keeps the focus on clarity, freshness, and site expression rather than oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"1280\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1458\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1401\"\u003ePale straw with a bright green edge, clean and vibrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1458\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1617\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1469\" data-end=\"1472\"\u003eCitrus peel, green apple and pear lead, followed by subtle notes of blossom and a flinty, mineral nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1617\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1868\"\u003ePalate:\u003cbr data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1633\"\u003eMedium light in body with a crisp, focused structure.
