Description
Lady May is Glenelly’s flagship estate wine. The 2020 Bordeaux blend (59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot) pays tribute to the pedigree of its legendary owner, May de Lencquesaing. Crafted from the best Bordeaux components of the vintage, it reveals rich dark berry aromas with hints of mocha and cedar on the nose. The palate offers sweet fruit flavours, smooth tannins and a long refined finish.
COMMEMORATIVE LABEL
In honour of May de Lencquesaing’s 100th birthday, a special label graces the Lady May 2020 vintage. With the words “Celebrating a Century of Life” and a subtle ‘100’ woven behind the statue emblem, it pays quiet tribute to a remarkable legacy. A rare collector’s item for your cellar.
WINEMAKING:
The grapes were hand-picked, destemmed and lightly crushed before being transferred into stainless steel fermentation tanks. They were then subjected to a three-day cold soak before natural fermentation commenced. During fermentation, the tanks underwent two pump-overs daily and the wine was left on the skins after fermentation for an additional 2-3 weeks. The wine was matured in 300L French oak barrels for 12 months
Ageing potential: Very good ageing capacity
