Tasting Note

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.

Product Notes

Glenelly Glass Collection Merlot is an elegant and refined wine produced in the heart of South Africa's Stellenbosch region. It is made from handpicked grapes and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, resulting in a deep, rich color and a bouquet of dark cherry and blackberry aromas. The taste is complex and layered, with smooth tannins and a lingering finish. The wine is named after the unique glass collection that adorns Glenelly Estate's tasting room, which was curated by May de Lencquesaing, the estate's owner and former owner of Bordeaux's famous Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. The glassware represents the four elements of winemaking – earth, water, fire and air – and adds an extra layer of sophistication to the tasting experience.

About the Winery

Glenelly

The history of Glenelly dates back to 1783. It was when the first wine with its stamp got released in the market. Located on Simonsberg’s southern slopes in Stellenbosch, the winery’s records start under the ownership and leadership of May-Eliane de Lencquesaing. She realised and recognised the immense potential that the land held and focused all her energy and efforts on developing the estate and its vineyards. After overseeing and managing exhaustive studies on the property and the weather conditions, the founder planted several grape varieties. They consisted of Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Chardonnay.
