Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine information: Gyles Webb is one of the people who has done his darnedest to accelerate South Africa’s promotion into the top leagues of the wine world. Thelema was established by Gyles and Barbara Webb in 1983 when, with the backing of Barbara’s parents, they purchased the 62 hectare Thelema farm. A winery was completed five years later, and almost immediately, his wines were among the best the country had to offer. Gyles was influenced in his wine–making by visits to Tuscany, Bordeaux and California. This wine has a complex nose of mint, blackcurrant and chocolate and the palate is juicy and ripe. There is a good layer of toasty oak in the background to complement the black cherry and cassis fruit flavours and grippy mid-palate tannin. Very long, clean and elegant on the finish. The intense berry fruit in this wine make it an excellent partner to dishes like roast turkey or try with a fine piece of British beef.
