Information about "Thelema Sutherland Syrah 2022"
The Thelema Sutherland Syrah emerges as an excellent alternative to the well-loved Thelema Shiraz. It's bouquet reveals enticing notes of juicy blackberries, cherries, and plums, enhanced by a delicate hint of black pepper. On the palate, it displays elegance and flavor, showcasing a striking structure enriched by subtle accents of cedar, graphite, and smoked meat. The lingering finish captures the spiciness of dark fruits and white pepper, embodying its coastal heritage.
The grapes for this exceptional Syrah were handpicked, destemmed, and lightly crushed, then pumped into stainless steel tanks to macerate for five days before pressing. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrels, and the wine matured for 18 months in 30% new French oak and 80% in third and fourth-fill barrels.
