Product information "Thelema The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon 2014"
The Thelema The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon exudes aromas of ripe red berries, dark cassis and the scent of dark chocolate, excellently complemented by a subtle hint of mint. On the palate you feel fine tannins, perfect balance and a long and pleasant finish with nuances of mocha and mint.
This wine is the result of years of detailed work by a winemaker who has grown close to his land and analytically segmented his vineyards. Only a very specific plot of a large vineyard on Thelema produces the mint notes that are already announced in the name. It is believed that the skin of the grapes absorbs the eucalyptol released into the air from the eucalyptus trees growing there.

Nach der Lese wurde das Traubengut entrappt, handsortiert, gequetscht und in Stahltanks fermentiert. 10 Tage lang wurde der Wein umgepumpt, die malolaktische Fermentierung fand im Holzfass statt. Nach Abschluss der malolaktischen Gärung reifte der Wein 18 Monate lang zu 40% in neuer französischer Eiche sowie zu 60% in älteren Eichenfässern.
