Deep ruby in colour, the Glenelly Glass Collection Merlot opens with intense aromas of dark fruit, think cherry and blackberry, layered with notes of chocolate and subtle spicy plum. On the palate, it’s richly concentrated yet elegantly structured: generous fruit folds around well-balanced, fine-grained tannins. Matured for 12 months in French oak, this Merlot delivers depth, richness and a smooth, lingering finish — showcasing the refined terroir of Simonsberg in Stellenbosch.
Why this wine: "I was looking for a pure merlot that offers a premium tasting experience while not breaking the bank, and I think Glenelly have done great with their glass collection. It’s a standout Merlot that consistently over-delivers and complements the premium producers we champion."- 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.
