Information about "Glenelly Estate Reserve Red Blend 2016"
The Glenelly Estate Reserve is the undisputed flagship of the Glenelly Winery. A top wine in Bordeaux style that leaves nothing to be desired. This cuvée combines the lush, rich character of Syrah with ripe fruit nuances and a pleasantly spicy hint of pepper with the classic nuances of Cabernet Sauvignon - blackberry, cranberry, cassis, fragrant cedar wood and floral undertones. Framed by a tight tannin structure, this red wine presents itself with wonderfully integrated oak tones. On the palate of outstandingly dense concentration and great complexity, this elegant pleasure ends in a fresh and long-lasting finish.

Handsortiertes Traubengut wurde in Stahltanks leicht gequetscht und anschließend drei Tage lang kalt eingeweicht, bevor die Spontanvergärung unter dreimal täglichem Umpumpen einsetzte. Die malolaktische Gärung fand in französischen Holzfässern statt, woraufhin der Wein 18 Monate lang in französischer Eiche reifen durfte.
