With 13.5% alcohol, its full-bodied palate presents finely grained tannins, ensconced in luscious, dark fruit flavours accentuated by subtle undertones of mocha and elegant spice. The finish is enduring and balanced, creating a smooth, enjoyable experience. Grown in mineral-rich, granite soils, this Glenelly Merlot delivers unparalleled complexity, truly embodying the winery's commitment to producing wines of sophistication, harmony, and longevity. It’s a perfect accompaniment to a hearty beef Bourguignon.

Tasting Notes

The Glass Collection Merlot is a dark ruby red colour. It displays dark fruit, cherry and chocolate with hints of spicy plums. Tremendous concentration, richness and generous fruit on the palate combine with fine but well-structured and balanced tannins.

The effusion of Glenelly's wine tradition is not confined to the vineyards alone. It extends to the Glass Museum, an exclusive display of the history of glass over the last 5000 years. The winery also houses a state-of-the-art tasting room & restaurant, known as The Vine Bistro. Its offer of classic French cuisine with a local twist resonates well with the traditional-meets-modern aesthetic of Glenelly.
