Every vine at Glenelly was planted under Heinrich Louw’s watch. He arrived in January 2000, when Glenelly was still a fruit farm.
Our grapes owe a great deal to him and his loyal team.

Fine w**e rarely comes from easy ground. On the Simonsberg foothills, our vines grow in decomposed granite: nutrient-poor and quick to drain. With little to spare, a vine stops chasing leaves and puts its energy into its fruit. The berries stay small, so there is more skin in proportion to juice. Skins are where colour, tannin and aroma live, and that ratio is what gives Glenelly reds their renowned depth and structure.

“I believe in South Africa’s soil, micro-climate and potential for quality w**es, and I wanted to continue the French heritage of w**emaking in South Africa that goes back more than three centuries.” - May de Lenquesaing

The Oakleaf soils where our vines are planted are among the oldest in the world. Consisting of decomposed granite with a subsoil of clay the enable good drainage for the roots to grow deep, contributing to the complexity of our w**es.

For Bambo Sibiya, an everyday object can carry a whole history: a piece of clothing, a patterned textile, a familiar gesture.

The Johannesburg-based artist works across printmaking, painting and drawing, combining the discipline of print with expressive, layered mark-making. His portraits explore Black identity, memory and inheritance. He treats identity as something that keeps changing, shaped by personal experience and the stories passed down.

He trained at Artist Proof Studio, and his visual language draws on African storytelling, textile traditions and the years he spent in Mozambique.

His work will be on view at Glenelly from 4 November, with an opening reception on 3 November.

Chrisél Attewell’s work begins outdoors. She walks, listens and gathers stones, pigments, photographs and video from the landscapes and people she encounters.

In the studio, these become layered, almost topographic paintings that sit somewhere between a map and a memory. Her practice moves between love and grief: tenderness for the living world, and anger at what is lost. In her words, each work is “a way to keep caring and to keep looking.”

Most recently she has been a SAFFCA resident at the Abbaye de la Cambre in Brussels, and her work has travelled as far as Mount Nemrut in Türkiye and Mongolia.

Join us at the opening reception of G + Art – The Glenelly Art Project on 3 November.
