Collection: Glenelly

Glenelly Estate owes its success to it's rich history, dating back to 1682 when Simon van der Stel ceded the land to a French Huguenot, Francois Villion. This, combined with May de Lencquesaing’s family legacy of centuries in the wine industry, has made Glenelly a revered and exceptional wine producer.

A note from the owner: 

“Since my childhood in the heart of Bordeaux’s finest vineyards until today, I have travelled the world and discovered the amazing diversity of terroirs. On my first visit to Stellenbosch, I knew that this was where I wanted to fulfil my dream of starting a new adventure outside of France. In 2003, after visiting many vineyards, I recognised the exciting potential of Glenelly Estate on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain. I bought Glenelly Estate because I believe in South Africa’s soil, microclimate and potential for quality wines, and I wanted to continue the French heritage of winemaking in South Africa that goes back more than three centuries. I have every confidence in this great country and its people and wished to play a part in its economic development.

My vision was to establish Glenelly as a world-class estate, producing award-winning wines with power, elegance and balance.”

    Amazing selection of wines. I have ordered from them twice now and the wine arrived before the estimated delivery day, and very well packaged.
    And I should mention the great pricing for premium wines.
