Thelema Gargantua Muscadel 2000

  • 93 points - Tim Atkin 2019

Gyles was always inspired by muscat sweet wines, and decided to plant a single vineyard of this cultivar on Thelema. The flavour profile of this wine is remarkable; starting off with alluring aromas of toffee, molasses, raisins, fruit and caramelised nuts, and honeycomb on the nose. The palate is rich and luscious, and it has a long and lingering finish.

Total production is 1065 bottles (500ml). Gift packaging included.

Maturation

This luxurious sweet wine is drinking superbly at the moment, and does not require further ageing in bottle.
