mehrere Informationen

The Thelema Sutherland Sarah Red is an absolute dream of a Cabernet Sauvignon! Inky and of stunning concentration, this special red presents itself with delicious aromatics of blackcurrant, delicately spicy licorice, mocha and dried herbs, which finish with silky tannins in a pleasantly soft and lingering finish, giving pleasure in a class of its own. After establishing Thelema Mountain Vineyards as a cult winery in Stellenbosch, owner and winemaker Gyles Webb established Sutherland Vineyards as an exciting new venture in the cool-climate Elgin region. Handcrafted from the finest vineyard parcels, the Sutherland Reserve Collection is a tribute to Gyles' four beloved granddaughters. Quietly confident and complex with the promise to blossom over time, this wine is named for Sarah Rose Webb, Gyles' third granddaughter. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grape material was destemmed with great care, hand-sorted and fermented as much as possible uncrushed as a whole berry. The mash was pumped over twice a day during fermentation and left to swell and steep (maceration) for four to five days after completion of fermentation before going to the press. The wine was aged for 18 months in French barriques, of which the best five barrels were selected and blended at the end of aging.
