Tasting notes:
'Matured for 12 months in French oak, 18% new. Aromatics of red and black berries, some leafiness and a little cocoa. Rich and round on the palate – concentrated fruit with firm but fine tannins, the finish long and very dry.' – Winemag Prescient Merlot Report 2020, Top 10
Alc: 14.5%
About Glenelly:
Glenelly was established in 2003 with a clear vision to produce long-ageing fine wine. It was started by May de Lencquesaing, previous owner of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Bordeaux. Much work has gone into the vineyards, cellar and winemaking but, more notably, their old-world patience has contributed to the wines. The winery is environmentally friendly and the vineyards are managed with minimal intervention and sustainable techniques.
