Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$59.00
Dark and vibrant in colour, this elegant, savoury cabernet unfolds a complex bouquet of cassis, dark plums, cedar/chocolate oak and suggestions of earth and dried herbs. Long, earthy and fine-grained, with a pliant spine, it’s complete, supple and poised, underpinned by fine, drying tannins and wrapped in a fresh acidity. Finishes with lingering earthy, faintly meaty notes.

Thelema
One of the most outstanding and respected wine producers in South Africa, Thelema is a jewel in the crown of Cape wine production. Led by its near-incomparable Cabernet Sauvignon, Thelema is as consistent as it is surprising. Just insert a bottle of its wine in an international tasting and watch the crowd spill over with confusion. A quality-driven enterprise with an exceptional vineyard whose higher slopes ripen significantly later than its lower reaches, Thelema would be an iconic producer no matter what geography or culture it came from. Take its wines very seriously indeed, but don't be too serious in the company of its owners, Gyles and Barbra Webb.
