Gaialuna Merlot

Smooth, generous, and effortlessly charming.
From the gentle hills of the Veneto, Gaialuna Merlot embodies the warmth and approachability that Italian reds are known for. This is a wine made for good company — smooth, fruit-driven, and quietly refined, with just enough depth to keep things interesting. It’s the kind of bottle that feels at home on any table, whether it’s a midweek meal or a Sunday roast.

The Merlot grapes are grown in sun-drenched vineyards caressed by cool breezes from the nearby Adriatic. This perfect balance of warmth and freshness gives the wine its signature character — soft and round, yet lively and full of flavour. After a gentle fermentation, the wine rests briefly in stainless steel to preserve its purity, resulting in a beautifully smooth expression of Veneto Merlot.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red colour with inviting aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and a touch of violet. On the palate, it’s silky and balanced, with velvety tannins and juicy notes of red berries and subtle spice. The finish is soft, lingering, and wonderfully moreish — an invitation to pour another glass.

For wine lovers in Ireland, Gaialuna Merlot brings that unmistakable Italian warmth and charm to every meal, turning even the simplest dish into something special.

Why we love it:
Soft, generous, and full of personality — this is Merlot the Italian way. We love how it balances ripe fruit with an easy-drinking style that makes it perfect for any occasion. A real everyday favourite that always feels a little bit indulgent.
