Glenelly Estate Lady May 2014
A Dense, Tight Finish
A preÂmier examÂple of the BorÂdeaux pediÂgree, the Lady May CaberÂnet blendÂed red wine from GlenelÂly Estates in StelÂlenÂbosch, South Africa.
TASTÂING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR
The Lady May CaberÂnet is sapÂpy and refined, with a disÂtinct minÂerÂalÂiÂty and underÂlyÂing fruitiÂness. Made priÂmarÂiÂly from CaberÂnet SauviÂgnon with CaberÂnet Franc, Petit VerÂdot, and MerÂlot grapes blendÂed in, it is fresh and subÂtle, with dense well-aged tanÂnins and a long, tight finÂish. The result of a slightÂly delayed harÂvest in 2013, this wine has a greater balÂance and more comÂplex aroÂma than preÂviÂous vinÂtages. It was matured for 24 months in brand new French oak barÂrels and clarÂiÂfied with natÂurÂal egg whites priÂor to bottling.
PAIRÂINGS
A red meat kind of wine, this is the botÂtle you pop open for a beauÂtiÂful rare to mediÂum-rare steakâââlike our Chilled Sher Wagyu Striploin by Makati Shangri-La. Or if you preÂfer, a nice, juicy burgÂer. Have it with short rib or roast lamb with a side of porÂtoÂbelÂlo mushÂrooms. This wine is great with hard cheeses like aged ChedÂdar or GouÂda and blue cheeses like StilÂton or GorÂgonzoÂla. Still lookÂing for an approÂpriÂate side dish? Make yourÂself a cheesy polenta!
A PERÂFECT CONÂFLUÂENCE OF ELEMENTS
The winelands of the westÂern South African Cape are a temÂperÂate region simÂiÂlar to the MĂ©doc region in BorÂdeaux. The vineÂyards of GlenelÂly Estate are locatÂed between the Atlantic and IndiÂan Oceans, enjoyÂing a prime microÂcliÂmate conÂducive to grape ripenÂing. StelÂlenÂbosch winerÂies genÂerÂalÂly plant their vines on west-facÂing slopes, but GlenelÂly lucked out on the coolÂer east-facÂing ones, allowÂing their grapes to mature slowÂly at an even rate.
Storage Instructions
Store unopened red wines in a cool, dry, and dark place safe from conÂstant vibraÂtion. Keep your botÂtle horÂiÂzonÂtal in a wine rack or celÂlar to retain the moistÂness of the cork. The ideÂal temÂperÂaÂture for storÂage is between 16 to 18°C. Once opened, a botÂtle will be good for 3 to 5 days standÂing upright in the refrigerator.
