The Glass Collection Chardonnay has a bright and brilliant color with a slight green hue. The wine has multifaceted aromas of citrus fruit, ripe pear, quince and flint. On the palate there is a beautiful round texture with brilliant length and intense citrus and mineral complexity. Inspired by antique glasses from May de Lencquesaing's private collection, Glenelly's Glass Collection celebrates the parallels between the art of making wine and the art of making glass. Both glass and fine wine come from poor soil, and just as the glassblower breathes life into glass, the winemaker's love gives life to wine.

Located on the southern slopes of the Simonsberg, Glenelly is owned by May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, Bordeaux doyenne and former owner of Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. Struck by the tremendous potential of South Africa's terroir and the beauty of the country, Madame de Lencquesaing decided to embark on a French adventure on African soil. She purchased Glenelly in 2003, and subsequently planted 66 of the property's 128 hectares to vineyards. The first estate-grown fruit came on line in 2007, and Glenelly's state-of-the-art winery building was completed in 2009. The wines are fermented naturally and made with as little intervention as possible, seeking to achieve the perfect balance of French style and South African terroir View More
