Glenelly Wine
The Glenelly Estate is in the
Idas Valley, located in
Stellenbosch, on the southern
slopes of the Simonsberg
Mountain. Its origins date
back to the seventeenth
century. Simon van der Steel,
Governor of the Cape, gave
the land to the Huguenot
François Villion. In 1812, the
estate passed to Johan Peter
de Villiers, and finally in 1865
it became the property of a
British family, the Garlicks.
They owned it for 138 years
until its purchase in 2003 by
May-Eliane de Lencquesaing,
who for over 30 years was
owner of the famous
Bordeaux Chateau Pichon
Longueville Comtesse de
Lalande, Pauillac Grand Cru
Classé.
This estate of 128 hectares
formerly devoted to fruit
production had, thanks to it
terroir, a vocation for wine
producing, which has been a
speciality of this region since
the seventeenth century. An
exhaustive study of soil and
weather conditions lead to the
planting of 60 hectares of red
varieties, 6 hectares of white
and 5 hectares of olive trees.
Central to this impressive
circle of mountains, vineyards
and olive groves lies
the 'Manor House' in the Cape
Dutch style, white walls and
thatched roof, surrounded by
newly renovated farm
buildings and beautiful
gardens. Four lakes provide
water supplies whilst the flora
and fauna add to the beauty
of this site. The year 2009
saw the inauguration of the
winery: 6,000 m2 anchored in
the mountains on 4 floors
functioning by gravity flow.
This very modern structure
was designed as an excellent
environmentally friendly
working tool (consumption of
electricity and water reduced,
keeping constant temperature
etc...)
This French adventure on
African soil is based on a
young, professional and
motivated team of South
Africans with very special
attention given to social
conditions of each and every
employee. Because wine must
be a LINK between people, a
LIVING messenger of our
CULTURE. |
