Description

"Aromas of ripe peach, grapefruit marmalade, blossoms and complex yeasty flavours compliment the toasty oak in the wine. The palate is clean with a lovely texture and long finish."

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Thelema Mountain Vineyards

Thelma Mountain Vineyards are in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. It is a winery that all started after Gyles Webb had his first taste of a famous white Burgundy from France. He shortly after quit his accounting career to take up winemaking. The name of the winery is named after his wife: Thelema. Gyles is a meticulous winemaker that gives great attention to every part of the winemaking process - from the vineyard to glass.

It is historically home in Burgundy where it produces a more refined, mineral and poised wines all up and down the Cote de Beaune and in Chablis. Throughout the new world it gained fame in both California and Australia where it is known to produce big, rich, buttery and tropical fruit-laden white wines.
