Information about "Glenelly Glass Collection Merlot 2021"
The Glenelly Glass Collection Merlot 2021 offers a silky interpretation of the varietal with a bouquet rich in delicate floral nuances and vibrant berry fruit. Its palate is a tapestry of ripe blueberries, dark cherries, and plums, all harmonized by alluring hints of dark chocolate and mint. The wine concludes with an elegant, lasting finish, marked by subtle berry notes that linger elegantly.
The grapes were gently crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks using only natural yeasts. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wine spent two to three weeks on the skins before gentle pressing. Malolactic fermentation occurred in French barriques, where the wine aged for an additional 12 months prior to bottling.
