WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS
Rabelais is a blend of the best Bordeaux components from our Thelema range from the 2013 vintage. The wine shows concentrated aromas of dark berries, hints of mocha and cedar wood on the nose. The palate has lovely sweet fruit notes, polished tannins and a long, refined finish.
A great investment wine.
