Translating tradition
The Building of Neart
The Connemara wine is a powerful and bold expression of Ailm Estate’s dedication to crafting wines. Central to this wine’s identity is the word Neart, meaning “strength” in the Celtic language, proudly displayed in the ancient Ogham script on the front of the label.
This striking symbol reflects the very essence of the wine—structured, full-bodied, and rich with depth. Much like the rugged landscapes of its namesake, Connemara commands attention, offering robust layers of dark fruit, spice, and a finely honed tannin structure.
