Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon: Exclusive Pre-Release

Feb 28, 2025 | All, Local wines | 0 comments

Thelema has been synonymous with some of the best Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon since their first groundbreaking releases in the ‘80s. Started by Giles Webb and now headed up by his son, Thomas Webb, their credentials are beyond question.

This Cabernet Sauvignon is consistently ‘the Cape’s best & most ageworthy’ wine (Platter’s Guide), and the 2021 offers unbeatable value at R380.

A hand holds a bottle of Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon amongst vineyard rows, showcasing a review and price for purchase.

Showing pure fruit and classic Stellenbosch aromatics of cassis, graphite and cedar, the 2021 stands out for its elegance, layered complexity, and weightless intensity.

This is your opportunity to secure an outstanding wine from one of the greatest vintages in recent memory. It’s also available in magnums (which age brilliantly, so we suggest popping a few in your cellar to enjoy in 2035).

Tasting Notes:

Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

‘Always one of the Cape’s best & most ageworthy, follows impressive form with pinpoint varietal definition. Lean, almost austere, yet pure & focused, showing layers of black fruit, hints of tobacco & liquorice, vibrant vinosity. 18 months in oak, 42% new. Also in 1.5 L.’ – Platter’s Guide, 5* (95/100)

‘Bursting with cassis perfume in a backdrop of pencil shaving poise. Wonderfully lithe and supple with precise acidity, smoky tannins and a luscious hedgerow fruit finish.’ – Decanter World Wine Awards, 95/100
