Herbal and minty with hints of wild brush, the 2018 Shiraz offers aromas of dark cherry and plum and blackberry essences in the glass. Medium to full-bodied and with a firm tannic edge, the palate offers flavors of dried herbs before ending with notes of tart plum and potpourri over the spicy finish.
Aromatic and inviting, this flavourful Shiraz shows a spicy white pepper undertone with cassis and dark red fruit aromas of mulberries. It is characterised by versatility, demonstrating a smooth soft palate with a savoury finish.
South Africa take a unique stand on Syrah, dispensing with the binary of old or new world and instead straddles the fine line between both, marrying a traditional approach with modern oenological innovation, putting forth a style it calls its own. And nowhere does this style shine brighter than the Western Cape star region of Stellenbosch. Thelema's superb Stellenbosch red is a fine exemplar of the region's distinct style. Thelema Mountain Vineyards's owner cum winemaker Gyles Webb has vinified a sumptuous wine containing fruit from elevated vineyard, expressing rich notes of blackberry, plum and vanilla, laced with spice and cocoa, capped with splendid tannic length. 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.
