South Africa has taken the star of Cabernet Sauvignon to new heights and Thelema has taken the lead in creating a wholesome and expressive new world style that balances ripe fruit and finesse. And this sumptuous Thelema red is a fine exemplar of the region's distinct style. Thelema Mountain Vineyards's owner cum winemaker Gyles Webb has vinified a superb wine containing fruit from elevated vineyard, expressing rich notes of blackcurrant leaf and coffee bean which with hints of leather, dark chocolate and sweet blackberry. The wine has been aged for 18 months under oak. Hardly surprising then that Thelema's wines have twice found mention in Wine Spectator's Top 100 wines of the world and no doubt be back on that list soon enough.
