Thelema Mountain Red 2022
This wine presents vibrant notes of dark berries, cherries and subtle peppery spice. After 18 months in barrel, the palate is smooth and layered with gentle tannins, offering a balanced texture and a persistent, flavourful finish.
Food Pairing
Particularly good with light and medium flavoured meals, such as pizza or a braai (barbeque).
