Product information "Thelema Mountain Red 2017"
Thelema Mountain Red is what you would probably call a second wine in France. Gyles Webb has further tightened the criteria for the barrels that make it into the Thelema Range to further improve quality and reduce the quantities available. The barrels that did not make it are now in Mountain Red. This cuvée is soft, fruity, round and overall somewhat more accessible than its varietal namesakes. Aromas of warming spices and ripe mulberries combine perfectly with ripe plum tones to create a soft and pleasant wine. As the icing on the cake, it also stands out for its very convincing price-performance ratio.

All the components of this cuvée, some of them from younger vines, matured for 18 months in French oak barrels in second, third and fourth occupancy.
