Thelema Mountain Red 2015

This wine shows inviting aromas of juicy black fruit, mulberries, plums and hints of warm spice. After spending 18 months in barrel, the palate is soft and juicy with well rounded tannins and a long, delicious finish.

Particular good with light to medium flavored meals, such as pizza or a braai.
