Thelema Mountain Red 2014
This wine shows inviting aromas of juicy black fruit, mulberries, plums and hints of warm spice. After spending 18 months in barrel, the palate is soft and juicy with well rounded tannins and a long, delicious finish.
Maturation
Great now, and will improve for 4 years.
Food Pairing
Particularly good with light and medium flavoured meals, such as pizza and braai.

| Wood Maturation | All components 18 months in 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill barrels |
| Winemaking | Portions of our younger vineyards are selected for this fruit-driven yet complex wine |
