Information about "Thelema Sutherland Syrah 2022"
The Thelema Sutherland Syrah stands as a distinguished alternative to the renowned Thelema Shiraz. This wine emanates delightful aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, enriched by a hint of black pepper. On the palate, it reveals an elegant and flavorful complexity with a remarkable structure, accented by subtle notes of cedar, graphite, and smoked meat. The finish is long and lingering, showcasing a persistent spiciness of dark fruits and white pepper, perfectly reflecting its coastal origin.
The grapes for this exceptional Syrah were handpicked, destemmed, and lightly crushed, then pumped into stainless steel tanks to macerate for five days before pressing. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrels, and the wine matured for 18 months in 30% new French oak and 80% in third and fourth-fill barrels.
