Product information "Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon 2016"
The full-bodied Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon from cult winemaker Gyles Webb is complex and elegant and pampers with seductive aromas of ripe black currants, dark chocolate and a hint of pencil shavings. A bone-dry drop, it pampers the palate with deliciously sweet elements of fresh fruit, perfect balance and a long and smooth finish. A dream of a Cabernet!

Handpicked, destemmed, sorted, crushed and then spontaneously fermented in steel tanks at a controlled 27°C. After 8 days and completed fermentation, it was transferred to barriques for malolactic fermentation and matured there for a total of 18 months. Only French wood was used, 45% of which was new, the rest of which had already been used.
