WINE DESCRIPTION

Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by Thelema Mountain Vineyards, a renowned winery located in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. The grapes are sourced from the estate's vineyards, which are situated on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain. The vineyards benefit from a unique combination of soil types and microclimates, resulting in grapes with exceptional flavor and complexity. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including hand-picking and sorting of the grapes, and aging in French oak barrels. The result is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with rich flavors of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and tobacco, and a long, smooth finish. Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality, elegant wine from South Africa.
