Product Notes

Thelema Mountain Red wine is a robust South African blend, offering smooth layers of rich, dark fruits. A scent imbued with deep plum, blackcurrent and touches of spicy oak transports you immediately to the vineyards of Stellenbosch. The first sip embodies outstanding complexity with balanced tannins, revealing notes of ripe cherry and a hint of dark chocolate. This full-bodied beauty finishes with a subtle smokiness, leaving a lingering warmth. Thelema Mountain Red is a symphony of flavours, a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of Thelema winemaking. Truly a wine to treasure and savour.

Tasting Notes

A rich, spicy Rhone-style red, brimming with mulberries and plums, seasoned by a scattering of black pepper and sun-baked fynbos herbs. The high quality of both fruit and winemaking shine through in the finesse of its silky tannins and the harmony and balance on the sustained finish. This is exceptional value for money.
