2024 Vintage — Stellenbosch, South Africa
Glenelly Estate sits high on the slopes of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch, founded by May-Eliane de Lencquesaing — the former owner of Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Pauillac. She brought a Bordeaux sensibility to the Cape, planting on cool, well-drained granite and decomposed-shale soils 200–400m above sea level.
The Glass Collection is Glenelly’s accessible everyday range, named after Madame de Lencquesaing’s celebrated collection of antique glass. This unwooded Chardonnay is fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel to preserve fruit clarity and freshness — no oak, no malolactic softening. A young, lively expression of cool-site Stellenbosch Chardonnay.
