Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R360
‘Thelema's reds are in a rich vein of form right now, typified by the quality of this Simonsberg assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot. Coffee bean and blackcurrant leaf aromas progress into a palate that's structured and racy with plenty of backbone and hints of leather and wet earth. 2022-28’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 93/100
‘Complex and stylish, with aromas of blackcurrant leaf and coffee bean which progresses into a palate that’s structured and racy with hints of leather, dark chocolate and sweet blackberry. The firm tannins yields a gripping mouthfeel from the first sip through to the long lingering finish.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | The name Thelema comes from the Abbey of Thélème, a place dreamt up by François Rabelais. He was a monk, a doctor and a writer in sixteenth-century France and his utopian Abbey went against the religious ideals of the day. Rabelais’ motto was ‘laughing and drinking are the proper characteristics of man...for by wine we become divine.’ Since Rabelais spent a lot of time thinking about and writing memorable quotes on wine, Thelema saw it fitting to name their vineyards after him. |
