Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$58.00
Alluring, dark maturing cabernet aromas of violets, dark berries and plums, cedar and cigarbox, reveal nuances of polished leather and smoked meats. Deeply layered and gravelly, medium to fullish in weight, it’s firm and textural, with a deep core of dark fruit and creamy oak that drives long and savoury, finishing with a hint of rustic complexity. Definitely more Old World than new, and easily able to surpass some significantly more expensive competition.

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.
