🌟 A bold and polished Shiraz—dark, spicy, and powerfully structured.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep, opaque ruby—nearly black at the core, intense and brooding.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and complex. Layers of blackberry, blackcurrant, and liquorice are joined by notes of cracked pepper, clove, and a hint of smoky vanilla.

👅 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and assertive. Ripe dark fruit flavours are supported by firm tannins and a backbone of spice. A touch of oak adds creaminess and warmth, leading to a long, structured finish with notes of vanilla and black pepper.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with grilled red meats, beef ribs, lamb chops, or spiced barbecue dishes. A wine built for bold flavours and hearty fare.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now with decanting, but will reward 6–10 years of cellaring as the structure softens and complexity deepens.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Thelema Shiraz is rich, expressive, and expertly crafted—delivering depth, spice, and balance in a classic South African style that stands tall alongside the world’s finest Syrahs.
