47 Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 750ml 6 (1 x 6) R5 000 – 7 000 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. 2003 was one of the greatest vintages of the era and produced rich yet elegant wines. ‘Alluring and stylish, with lovely mint, cocoa and red currant aromas and flavours gliding along suave tannins. Ripe and balanced, with a long, elegant finish. One of the Cape’s most consistently outstanding wines.’ Wine Spectator, 91/100
