Grape

Syrah or Shiraz

Origin
Thelema's vineyards range in altitude from 370 to 640m, making them one of the highest producers in Stellenbosch, and therefore the coolest. The Syrah is barrel aged in 85% French and 15% American oak to add texture and structure.
Taste
This rich and concentrated wine displays textbook characteristics of New World Shiraz - lots of blackcurrant and brambly fruit and a superbly toasted finish. Tannins are ripe and integrated.
Enjoy
This is a full bodied wine which will be a great match for grilled meats. Will easily improve over the next 6-8 years.

    Can't understand the other ratings

    Majestic - why are there 3 ratings and only 1 review? They're skewing the balance. For the record, Thelema shiraz is a brilliant wine and 2008 was a fabulous year for it. Amazingly punchy and concentrated and yet smooth, soft and inviting. Great dollop of spiced fruit and fabulous balance. Fuller review at Toastbongo's wine blog (google it).

    Great year for Thelema shiraz

    Full, intense nose - jam, liquorice, cocoa. Black cherry and plum in the mouth, soft, smooth and silky.
