Product information "Thelema The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum 2014"
The Thelema The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum exudes aromas of ripe red berries, dark blackcurrants and the scent of dark chocolate, exquisitely complemented by a subtle hint of mint. On the palate you feel fine tannins, perfect balance and a long and pleasant finish with nuances of mocha and mint.
This wine is the result of years of detailed work by a winemaker who has grown together with his land and analytically segmented his vineyards. Only a very specific plot of a large vineyard on Thelema produces the mint tones that are already announced in the name. It is believed that the skin of the grapes absorbs the eucalyptol released into the air from the eucalyptus trees growing there.

Handpicked, destemmed, sorted, crushed and then spontaneously fermented in steel tanks at a controlled 27°C. After 8 days and completed fermentation, it was transferred to barriques for malolactic fermentation and matured there for a total of 18 months. Only French wood was used, 45% of which was new, the rest of which had already been used.
