Glenelly Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2022

Glenelly Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2022 is a refined Stellenbosch Chardonnay made in a poised, mineral-driven style that combines citrus purity with gentle oak complexity and textural depth. Crafted from estate fruit and matured on lees in oak and foudre, it reflects Glenelly’s polished, classically minded approach while retaining brightness and freshness throughout.

Appearance:

Bright straw with pale gold highlights, clear and luminous in the glass.

Aroma:

Complex and expressive, with quince, citrus peel, lime zest, and subtle pear notes, layered with hints of butterscotch, toasted nuts, and a gentle mineral lift.

Taste:

Lush yet controlled, showing vibrant citrus, orchard fruit, and fine mineral detail. The palate has lovely poise, with oak adding quiet creaminess and breadth rather than heaviness, while fresh acidity keeps the wine focused and energetic.

Finish:

Long, rounded, and textured, tapering through citrus, mineral tones, and a soft touch of toast.

Food Pairing:

Excellent with roast chicken, grilled lobster, pan-seared scallops, creamy mushroom dishes, or pork with apple and herbs.
