  • 75cl
✓ Available now

Glenelly Glass Collection Merlot is a deep, richly coloured wine. It displays intense, dark fruit and spicy plum aromas, reminiscent of a Black Forest Gateaux. This Merlot shows tremendous concentration, richness and generous fruit on the palate, with fine but well balanced tannins to embrace it all.

The grapes were hand sorted and lightly crushed into stainless steel fermentation tanks. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine was placed into French oak barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation. Glenelly Glass Collection Merlot was matured for 12 months in French oak and racked, on average, every four months.

  • ❖ ABV: 15%

OUR GROWERS

Glenelly

A new chapter began for the Glenelly Estate in 2003 when it was acquired by May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, esteemed owner of Bordeaux’s Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. Driven by her belief in the Cape’s terroir, her desire to contribute to South Africa’s economic development, and her commitment to continuing the three-century heritage of French winemaking in the country, the estate, which had traditionally focused on fruit production, was transformed.
