Glass Collection Cabernet Sauvignon - Glenelly Estate

The powerful Glass Collection Cabernet Sauvignon from Glenelly Estate flows into the glass with a dense purple color. The nose of this red wine from the Coastal Region delights with notes of black cherry, mulberry, morello cherry and plum. If we trace the aromatics further, cinnamon, cocoa bean and gingerbread spice come through, aided by the oak influence.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 2.6 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the high quality wine range, this South African naturally enchants with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Taste does not necessarily need sugar. This dense red wine presents itself full-bodied and complex on the palate. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Glass Collection Cabernet Sauvignon flatters with a pleasing palate feeling, without lacking juicy liveliness. In the finish, this red wine from the Coastal Region wine-growing region finally inspires with considerable length. Once again, hints of blueberry and black cherry show through.
