169 Thelema The Mint 2006 750ml 12 (1 x 12) R9 000 – 12 000 PROVENANCE Wine Cellar ITEM NOTES Thelema was a charming fruit farm until Gyles and Barbara Webb purchased the Helshoogte gem in 1983. Thelema is one of the highest and coolest estates in Stellenbosch and the deep red soils have produced legendary Cabernet Sauvignon for 30 years. The Mint is from a special vineyard that produces unique aromas, along with Thelema’s elegant styling. ‘Sleek and reserved, with a gorgeous mint- and cocoa-filled nose followed by velvety, fine-grained tannins that support the dark plum and macerated currant fruit. The long, silky finish lets the ripe fruit linger with style.’ Wine Spectator, 92/100
