Glenelly Estate Reserve is the signature red blend of the estate, rich powerful aromatics of red fruits, plum and blackberries initially present themselves, followed hints of savoury, spicy Syrah with touches of cedar and floral tones. The palate entry has good richness and ripe fresh fruit and pepper-spice supported by a firm, balanced tannins. Very good oak integration with fresh long finish.

Winemaker Dirk and assistant Lehandri endeavour to make Glenelly wines as naturally as possible with wild yeast fermentation and no acidification. The team follows a minimal intervention approach to winemaking yet intensive sorting and care is taken when receiving the grapes. We use France’s most recognised coopers (mostly from Taransaud, Boutes and Sylvain) to ensure a gentle and precise elevage, preserving the identity of the terroir of Glenelly. Hygiene is of utmost importance in the cellar and a combination of both hot water and ozonated water is used for cleaning.

Very dry season with cool conditions during ripening. Winter in 2011 was dry but cold. Budburst was 7 days earlier than usual and it was very even. Low spring temperatures lead to slow shoot growth. During flowering there was rain which resulted in weak set and loose bunches and increased disease pressure. Favourable, cool conditions from pea bud to veraison. A temperature spike during ripening put the vines under water stress. Harvest was one week ahead, but finished a day early. Wine quality was excellent.
