Information about "Thelema Rabelais 2022"

The Thelema Rabelais 2022 captivates with its vibrant and concentrated aromas of dark berry fruits, cassis, a hint of mocha, and fragrant cedar wood. Nuances of vanilla and luscious sweet fruit on the palate offer refined tannins, culminating in a lengthy and elegant finish, elevating the tasting experience to new heights!

This Bordeaux blend is a sensational expression, crafted from only the finest fruit from the vintage. Select barrels were identified, deemed worthy to carry the esteemed name Rabelais.

Treatment in the cellar

Handgelesen, entrappt, sortiert, gequetscht und anschließend im Stahltank vergoren. Nach fünf Tagen und abgeschlossener Gärung blieb der Wein für zwei weitere Tage auf der Haut, ehe er gepresst und zur malolaktischen Gärung in Barriques gefüllt wurde. Dort reifte er vor Abfüllung auf die Flasche für insgesamt 18 Monate in französischen 225 L Fässern aus 100 % Neuholz.
