Product Notes

The Thelema Merlot is a remarkable red wine of exceptional quality hailing from Stellenbosch, South Africa. Boasting a vascular profile full of succulent, black cherry and plum flavours, accompanied by hints of mocha and walnut, this wine charms with a balanced acidity and elegant tannin structure. Its luxuriously deep, garnet hue entices the eye, whilst the nose is delighted by aromatic notes of ripe berries and cocoa. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, it promises both a smooth finish and pleasing complexity. Pair this Thelema treasure with a rich lamb dish or dark chocolate dessert for an exquisite dining experience.
