Product information "Glenelly Glass Collection Merlot 2020"
The Glenelly Glass Collection Merlot is an incredibly silky representative of this noble grape variety. With its delicate floral aromas and fragrant berry fruit on the nose, this Merlot caresses the palate with delicious nuances of ripe blueberries, dark cherries and plums as well as an irresistible hint of dark chocolate and cinnamon. Gentle and elegant, this delicious Merlot ends in a long finish, accompanied by a subtle berry note.

The grapes were first lightly crushed and then filled into stainless steel tanks, where fermentation took place using only natural yeasts. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine spent 2-3 weeks on the skin and was then gently pressed. The malolactic fermentation took place in French barriques, in which the wine was allowed to mature for another 12 months before bottling.
