Wine Glenelly, “Glass Collection” Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021

The Glass Collection is inspired by the beloved glass art collection of May de Lenquesen, a French winemaker who has been the owner and managing director of the iconic Chteau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande winery for over 30 years. Glass Collection wines demonstrate the unique terroir and diversity of grape varieties planted on the Glenelli estate.

Glenelly, “Glass Collection” Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021 – a classic dry red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes collected from various sites on the slopes of Glenelly. The 2021 season, much cooler than in previous years, provided the grapes with slow, even ripening and excellent natural acidity. Hand-harvested and destemmed, the grapes undergo a natural, slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks with just two pumps per day, followed by post-maceration on skins for 3 weeks. The wine was aged in 300 liter French oak barrels for 12 months. The storage potential of wine is 4-8 years.
