Information about "Thelema Merlot Reserve 2021"
Deep red, almost black as ink, the Thelema Merlot Reserve flows into the glass and reveals exceptionally concentrated notes of red berry fruit and cedar wood. It presents itself powerfully with complex aromas and lush fruitiness. Its strong but harmonious tannins will still "grind off". Because of this, as well as its balanced acidity, it will have a long shelf life and thus has a sensational ripening potential.
This wine is an absolute masterpiece and has long been one of the best Merlots on the Cape. A great red wine, the Thelema Merlot Reserve, which can easily compete internationally.

Die Trauben für den Thelema Merlot Reserve wurden entrappt, handsortiert, gequetscht und in Stahltanks gepumpt, wo sie zwei Tage lang einer Kaltquellphase unterzogen und während drei weiteren Tagen jeweils zweimal am Tag umgewälzt wurden. Die malolaktische Fermentierung erfolgte in Holzfässern. Anschließend durfte der Wein 18 Monate lang in 100% neuer französischer Eiche reifen.
