Product information "Thelema Sutherland Syrah 2018"
The Thelema Sutherland Syrah is certainly a worthy alternative to the Thelema Shiraz. It has a pleasant scent of ripe blackberries, plums and herbaceous spices. It is elegant and tasty, complex and dense, and shows a fantastic structure with lush nuances of ripe berries on the palate.

The grapes for this wonderful Shiraz were harvested by hand, destemmed, lightly crushed and then pumped into stainless steel tanks, where the mash spent 5 days before being pressed. The malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. The wine matured for 18 months in 20% new French oak and 80% in third and fourth filled oak barrels.
