Its exquisite charm continues with the labels featuring antique French glassware, a homage to Glenelly Estate's inherent connection to elegant craftsmanship. In essence, the Glenelly Glass Collection Merlot offers a remarkable celebration of flavour and artistry.

Tasting Notes

The Glass Collection Merlot is a dark ruby red colour. It displays dark fruit, cherry and chocolate with hints of spicy plums. Tremendous concentration, richness and generous fruit on the palate combine with fine but well-structured and balanced tannins.
