Product Notes

Thelema Sutherland Pinot Noir is a wine that impresses with its elegance and complexity. From the prestigious Sutherland Vineyards in Stellenbosch, South Africa, this wine is made from the finest hand-picked Pinot Noir grapes. Aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, it has a beautiful ruby color and aromas of ripe red fruit, like cherries and raspberries, with hints of vanilla, cloves, and earthy notes. On the palate, Thelema Sutherland Pinot Noir is delicate and smooth, with a balanced acidity and tannins that give it a long and satisfying finish. This is an exceptional wine ideal for special occasions or paired with game, duck, or roasted lamb.

Tasting Notes

The wine is light and clean, with earthy wild strawberry and raspberry flavours, and a perfumed and elegant finish.
