Bottle Notes
A rich and structured Bordeaux-style blend from Stellenbosch, combining ripe black fruit with cedar, tobacco and a subtle savoury edge. Cassis, mulberry and plum lead the way, while fine tannins and fresh acidity bring balance, length and definition. Bold yet composed, it has the depth and elegance to make a real impression now, with the added promise of graceful ageing.
Tasting Notes
The nose is deep and expressive, showing blackberry, cassis and spicy plum, layered with cedar, mocha and a touch of tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with black and red fruits supported by fine-grained tannins and a fresh, savoury finish. There is a real sense of structure here, but also polish and harmony, giving the wine both power and finesse.
Food Pairing
This is a superb partner for grilled steak, roast lamb, venison, beef Wellington and slow-cooked game dishes. It also works beautifully with mushroom risotto, rich braises, blue cheese and mature cheddar, where the wine’s structure and savoury depth come into their own.
Producer Story
Glenelly Estate was transformed by May de Lencquesaing, former owner of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, who brought her Bordeaux heritage and vision to Stellenbosch in 2003. Set on east-facing slopes in a cool saddle valley, the estate is shaped by careful site selection, cool breezes and a clear commitment to elegance and balance. The Reserve Rouge is the estate’s signature red blend, crafted in a classic Bordeaux style and matured in French oak to build complexity and refinement.
Why We Picked It
We chose this wine because it feels like a serious, beautifully made red with real pedigree and depth. It brings together ripe South African fruit, Bordeaux structure and a refined savoury complexity that makes it both impressive and versatile. As a flagship blend, it carries the presence that makes it ideal for both sharing and gifting.
