Winery Thelema
Winery Thelema
Situated on the spectacular Helshoogte Pass in Stellenbosch is Thelema Mountain Vineyards, the family winery and home of Thelema and Sutherland Vineyards Wines.
The 42 hectares of vineyards grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, as well as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc . The world-renowned wines of Thelema surprise with pronounced elegance and a wonderful fruitiness.
Thelema enjoys an optimal climate and has excellent soil types, which has established the winery as one of the leading producers of Cabernet Sauvignon and put Stellenbosch Cabernets firmly on the global wine map.
Due to the excellent conditions, Thelema works with minimal intervention in the vineyard and lets the naturalness of the wines speak for themselves.
We think they did a great job at that!

Winemaker: Gyles Webb
Owner and winemaker Gyles Webb acquired the Thelema estate in 1983, which at the time was still a charming old fruit farm in need of love and care.
The old fruit trees had to give way and vines were planted.
The first wines under the Thelema label were released in 1988 and by the mid-90s Thelema wines were so popular that new vintages were completely sold out within a month of their release.
Gyles Webb is now an absolute legend in the South African wine world.
