Description

"The name Thelema comes from a tale written by 16th Century French writer Francois Rabelais, who writes about a beautiful Abbey, Thélème, where there is but one rule – ‘do what thou wilt’. This blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Petit Verdot pays homage to the spirit of the Abbey and to the author who gave us our name.

Maturation

Potential to develop beautifully over the next 8 years.

Food Pairing

Rich hearty stews, roasts and grilled meats.

Winemaker's Comments

This blend of Shiraz, Grenache & Petit Verdot has dark plum and white pepper aromas with an inviting toasted spice on the palate and an elegant acidity."
