Glenelly Estate Reserve Red 2018 per Case

Genelly Estate Reserve is our signature red blend, based on the classic claret blend of the 1700’s. This wine offers plenty of ageing potential. Expect aromas of plum and cherry. Flavours of mulberry and blackcurrant leaf in the mid palate with hints of fresh herbs and rich tannins to support it all.

Grape Verieties:

35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 15% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot, 10% Cabernet Franc

Winemaking:

The grapes were hand-sorted and lightly crushed into stainless steel fermentation tanks.

They were given a cold soak for three days before allowing the natural fermentation to start.

Three pump overs a day were done on the tanks during fermentation, after which they

underwent extended skin contact for 2-3 weeks.

The wine was placed in French oak barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation.

Matured for 18 months in French oak and racked, on average, every four months.
