Thelema Rabelais 2011

Rabelais is a blend of our best Bordeaux components selected from the 2011 vintage. The wine shows extraordinary concentrations of luscious dark berries, cherries and cedar wood spice on the nose. The fruit intensity follows through onto the palate with a lovely, long finish. A great investment wine.

Maturation

The carefully selected components of this wine lend themselves perfectly to long term cellaring, 10 – 15 years.

Food Pairing

This complex and full-bodied wine complements beef and game dishes.

Winemaker's Comments

Rabelais is a blend of the best Bordeaux components within our Thelema range from the 2011 vintage. During our annual vintage review individual barrels are identified and earmarked for the Rabelais blend, which is complex, elegant and structured. Extraordinary concentrations of luscious dark berries and cedar wood on the nose complemented by a lovely sweet fruit character on the palate. The wine finishes long and firm. It will reward cellaring.
