Information about "Thelema Sutherland Viognier Roussanne 2024"
Experience the enchanting Thelema Sutherland Viognier Roussanne, a masterful blend that captivates the senses. Aromas of jasmine blossoms intertwine with sun-dried pears and Mediterranean peaches, creating a delightful bouquet. On the palate, vibrant notes of ripe white peaches and apricots meld harmoniously with a creamy texture and subtle almond nuttiness. This wine is artfully crafted to showcase both vivacity and elegance, embodying finesse in every sip.
Roussanne, a rare white varietal from the renowned Rhône Valley, is often blended to yield floral and mineral-driven wines. In this unique instance, it is paired with Viognier, a variety seldom found in South Africa, resulting in a wine that stands apart from the mainstream, inviting exploration.
Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel. The wine then matured on its lees for ten months, with bi-weekly bâtonnage. Fermentation took place at 15ºC in second- and third-fill French barriques.
