The Thelema The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon exudes aromas of ripe red berries, dark cassis and the scent of dark chocolate, excellently complemented by a subtle hint of mint. On the palate you feel fine tannins, perfect balance and a long and pleasant finish with nuances of mocha and mint.

This wine is the result of years of detailed work by a winemaker who has grown close to his land and analytically segmented his vineyards. Only a very specific plot of a large vineyard on Thelema produces the mint notes that are already announced in the name. It is believed that the skin of the grapes absorbs the eucalyptol released into the air from the eucalyptus trees growing there.

Treatment in the cellar

After the harvest, the grapes were destemmed, sorted by hand, crushed and fermented in steel tanks. For 10 days the wine was pumped over, the malolactic fermentation took place in wooden barrels. Once the malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine matured for 18 months, 40% in new French oak and 60% in older oak barrels.
