The Estate Reserve is the signature red blend of Glenelly. It combines the rich and savoury character of the Syrah (pepper and spices) with Cabernet Sauvignon (blackberries, cherries and floral spices) and with touches of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The blend is different with every vintage. The wine offers fine tannins supported by ripe fresh fruit and hints of spices.
Why this wine: "I'm a sucker for a good Bordeaux style red blend that doesn't empty your wallet. With an abundance of these on the Irish market commanding anywhere between €20 to €150, I think this offering fits in well at a solid price too. After all, Glenelly are heavily French influenced, from their owners to their style of winemaking, they capture the essence of Bordeaux many miles away in Stellenbosch". - Steve (Founder RN Wines).

Placed our first order with Rainbow Nation Wines earlier this week, and have to say I am super impressed with the process. Quite a big order with some single and double selections as well as a couple of cases. Smaller order arrived after 2 days via An Post, and the larger order of the cases is out for delivery today with DPD.

Amazing selection of wines. I have ordered from them twice now and the wine arrived before the estimated delivery day, and very well packaged. And I should mention the great pricing for premium wines.
