Information about "Thelema The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon 2023"
The Thelema The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon encapsulates the spirit of Stellenbosch with its enchanting bouquet of ripe red berries and dark cassis, complemented by the intriguing aroma of dark chocolate and a whisper of mint. On the palate, it showcases fine tannins and impeccable balance, delivering a lengthy finish with hints of mocha and mint. This remarkable wine is born from meticulous vineyard practices, utilizing specific blocks known for their unique mint characteristics. It is believed the grape skins absorb the eucalyptus oils released into the air by the nearby eucalyptus trees.
The grapes were de-stemmed, hand-sorted, crushed, and pumped into a stainless steel tank. Regular pump-overs occurred over 10 days, followed by a six-day skin contact before pressing and transferring to barrel for malolactic fermentation. The wine matured for 18 months in barrels—35% in new French oak, with the remainder in older vessels.
