Thelema Mountain Vineyards - 6 bottle gift box of Thelema Rabelais 2021 (6 x 750ml)
Thelema Mountain Vineyards is one of South Africa's true First Growth wines estates, made famous in the early 1990’s by Gyles Webb and his world class Cabernet Sauvignons. The Thelema property is located high on the southern slopes on the Simonsberg mountain, overlooking the town of Stellenbosch.

Gyles has been crowned South African winemaker of the year on multiple occasions, and his wines have received regular international recognition, including a recent score for the Rabelais 2021 of 97 points from Tim Atkin MW. Rabelais is the finest wine of the estate, made up of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, with an ageing potential of up to 20 years. This wine was named after French Renaissance writer Francois Rabelais, who wrote about the fictional “Abbey of Theleme” from where our farm got its name.

Tokara - Director’s Reserve Red 2011 (1 x 5L)
The wine has an intense deep garnet colour with stunning clarity. The aromas on the nose are classic for this style of wine. Heady notes of cassis, black berries and dark cherries. There is a slight herbal lift and freshness to the nose, with hints of tomato puree and tomato leaf and the typical hint of mint which is indicative of its origin. The palate is reminiscent to that which is on the nose. It is powerful and mouth filling on the entry and mid palate with stunning dry textured tannins. The finish is surprisingly fresh and elegant. This wine drinks well now but will benefit from ageing until 2026
