Information about "Thelema The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon 2023"
The Thelema The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the essence of Stellenbosch, featuring an alluring bouquet of ripe red berries and dark cassis, elegantly complemented by dark chocolate notes and a hint of mint. On the palate, it displays refined tannins and superb balance, leading to a long, fulfilling finish imbued with mocha and mint nuances. This exceptional wine results from meticulous vineyard management, focusing on specific blocks that convey the unique mint character. It is speculated that the grape skins absorb eucalyptus oils released from nearby eucalyptus trees.
The grapes were de-stemmed, hand-sorted, crushed, and pumped into a stainless steel tank. Regular pump-overs occurred over 10 days, followed by a six-day skin contact before pressing and transferring to barrel for malolactic fermentation. The wine matured for 18 months in barrels—35% in new French oak, with the remainder in older vessels.
