Product information "Glenelly Glass Collection Cabernet Franc 2021"
The Glenelly Glass Collection Cabernet Franc presents itself in a glass of dense and lush colour and bewitches the nose with shrubby herbaceous aromas of dried thyme, oregano and fragrant cape fynbos, as well as seductive hints of black cherries and pencil shavings in the background. Intense nuances of dark cherries, ripe blueberries and graphite caress the palate, paired with smooth tannins and a soft and long-lasting finish. An incredibly exciting drop!

The grapes were first lightly crushed and then filled into stainless steel tanks, where fermentation took place using only natural yeasts. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine spent 2-3 weeks on the skin and was then gently pressed. The malolactic fermentation took place in French barriques, in which the wine was allowed to mature for another 12 months before bottling.
