Information about "Thelema The Abbey 2022"
Thelema The Abbey is a captivating red blend comprised of 90% Shiraz and 10% Grenache Noir, reflecting the character of South Africa's celebrated terroir. The bouquet reveals lush aromas of dark plums and black cherries, with subtle traces of dried herbs that seamlessly follow on the palate. Roasted notes alongside delicate spices enhance the wine's complexity, while a sophisticated acidity provides balance to the opulent fruit, resulting in a truly engaging experience. This wine honors the spirit of an extraordinary abbey, Thélème, inspired by a tale from François Rabelais, celebrating freedom and indulgence.
The grapes are handpicked, followed by two days of skin contact post-fermentation. After pressing, the wine matures in second and third-fill oak barrels, undergoing malolactic fermentation, with a total aging period of 18 months before bottling.
