Glenelly – French Winemaking Tradition in Stellenbosch
Glenelly Estate is located in the Ida’s Valley at the foot of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch and uniquely combines French winemaking tradition with South African terroir. The estate in its present form was founded in 2003 by May de Lencquesaing, the former owner of the renowned Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Bordeaux. Her vision was to create wines of international calibre in South Africa, combining power, elegance and balance. Today, Glenelly stands for precise, characterful wines with a French influence and a distinctive expression of the Simonsberg terroir.

What our Customers think
Glenelly Estate – French Winemaking Tradition in Stellenbosch
Glenelly Estate is located in the Ida’s Valley on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch and combines French winemaking tradition with South African terroir. The history of the estate dates back to 1682, when the land was granted by Simon van der Stel to the French Huguenot François Villion. Glenelly began a new chapter in 2003, when May de Lencquesaing, the former owner of the renowned Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Bordeaux, acquired the estate and realised her vision of a South African winery with French roots. The existing orchards were gradually replaced by vineyards, transforming Glenelly into a modern wine estate in the heart of the Stellenbosch Winelands.
Glenelly Wines – Power, Elegance and Balance
The wines of Glenelly Estate combine the terroir of the Simonsberg with the centuries-old winemaking tradition of May de Lencquesaing’s family. The soils and microclimate of the Ida’s Valley provide excellent conditions for characterful and age-worthy wines. At the heart of Glenelly’s philosophy are power, elegance and balance – three qualities the estate itself describes with the guiding principles “Power, Elegance and Balance”. The portfolio ranges from the Glass Collection and Estate Reserve to the flagship wine Lady May. Classic Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc play a particularly important role. The range is complemented by varieties including Syrah and Chardonnay, which further showcase the different facets of the Glenelly terroir.
Glenelly in Stellenbosch – Wine, French Cuisine and Glass Art
A visit to Glenelly in Stellenbosch offers far more than a traditional wine tasting. The Tasting Room provides impressive views across the landscape surrounding the Simonsberg, while The Vine Bistro combines classic French bistro cuisine with modern South African influences. Another exceptional feature of the estate is the Glass Museum, home to May de Lencquesaing’s private glass collection. Its approximately 600 exhibits span around 2,000 years of glass art, making Glenelly a unique combination of wine, gastronomy, art and South African landscape. The estate’s French heritage can therefore be experienced not only in Glenelly’s wines, but throughout the entire estate.
