Tasting Note

A rich, expressive blend led by Shiraz, with ripe dark fruit, black pepper, and hints of dried herbs. The Grenache adds brightness and subtle red berry notes, while fine tannins and a savoury finish bring balance and complexity.

Product Notes

Thelema The Abbey wine is a sumptuous South African red blend drawing inspiration from the famous monastic vineyards of Bordeaux. This delightful expression boasts a harmonious medley of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, resulting in a wine layered with nuanced notes of dark fruit, sultry spices, and a hint of earthiness. A medium-bodied vintage, it flaunts an alluring garnet hue with a welcoming nose of cassis and tobacco. Laden with robust tannins and balanced by a dash of acidity, its swirling symphony of flavours bespeaks of age-worthiness. The Thelema The Abbey is indeed an enchanting ode to fine winemaking.
