A full, firm, ripe left-bank claret that shows style and richness. Superb vintage.

A fine, elegant wine with plump red berried fruit and delicate hints of oak spice. Smooth and supple on the palate, with fine tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Lady May is Glenelly’s Flagship Estate wine. Elegant and complex, the wine develops flavours of cassis, blackcurrant, dark cherry, touch of graphite and delicate spicy plum. Fresh and vibrant, the evolution of the wine introduces flavours specific to Glenelly’s terroir. Deeply coloured and perfectly balanced, the wine displays an exquisite structure with velvety tannins and a very good ageing capability. Can age during 12 to 18 years.

The Ernie Els Signature has a plum red with a thin red rim.

The aroma of the Ernie Els Signature is fruit driven with combination of the black fruits plum, cherries and blackberries.

The fruitcake aromas are rounded off by a subtle oak spice to the finish.
There are also distinctive earthy undertones to this claret.

The fruit from the aroma follows through onto a seductive mid-palate, supported by a silky mineral feel with hints of oak and backed by a sweet tannin finish.

The deep crimson-coloured 2006 Quinta Sardonia gives up an aromatic array of cedar, Asian spices, incense, and blackberry. Savoury and supple on the palate, it has enough underlying structure to evolve for 2-3 years and should be at its best from 2012 to 2026.

Five classic varieties inspire a wine to be enjoyed anytime. Cabernet Sauvignon gives depth and structure; Petit Verdot adds intense colour; Malbec has a silky softness; Merlot brings a lively spiciness; and Cabernet Franc contributes hints of violets.
