Glenelly Estate is located on the southern slopes of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch. Originally granted to a French Huguenot by Cape governor Simon van der Stel in the late seventeenth century, It was purchased in 1865 by a British family, who ran the estate as a fruit farm for 138 years. In 2003, a new chapter in the history of Glenelly began, when the property was acquired by May-Eliane de Lencquesaing.

Tasting Notes
All of the grapes destined for Lady May are grown on the Glenelly Estate vineyards, on the southern slopes of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch. Soils are predominantly decomposed granite with a deep clay base. Glenelly enjoys a high percentage of cooler, east facing slopes. This is unusual for Stellenbosch and allows for slower, more even ripening, resulting in wines of great elegance and finesse.
