Product Description:
A full-bodied marvel that opens with a harmonious dance of dark berries, cassis, and plums, supported by a velvety texture with hints of vanilla and cedarwood. The elegant union of Cabernet Sauvignon's structural finesse and Petit Verdot's opulent depth creates a tapestry of ripe tannins and balanced acidity, culminating in a long, graceful finish that leaves impressions of black cherry and a touch of tobacco. This assemblage embodies the art of complexity and refinement.

Vinifikation
The wine was named after the French writer Francois Rabelais. In one of his books, the giant Gargantua builds a church named Thélème, which represents a new world order. Following the principles of the Renaissance, all people are equal, and education for all is considered the key to the future of our society. Revolutionary ideas in 1564. Thelema stood not only for a new world order but also for paradise on Earth. There were no walls, time was not controlled by clocks, and all people were well-dressed and nourished. This wine represents the best that Thelema offers in a bottle. It is an attempt to create a wine that comes close to the feeling and way of life of Thélème. The grapes are hand-picked, destemmed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine undergoes extended maceration and is then pressed and transferred to wooden barrels for malolactic fermentation. Further aging takes place for 18 months, with 76% in new French barrique barrels.
