Thelema Mountain Red, Western Cape 2020
Thelema’s ‘house’ red is a blend of shiraz, grenache and petit verdot, all from their own vineyards, the majority on the Sutherland farm in Elgin, South Africa. No new oak, just deliciously juicy fruit.

Thelema Mountain Vineyards
Thelema Mountain Vineyards is an outstanding illustration of South Africa’s wine renaissance, one of the first estates to make a more modern style of wine to attract a wider international audience. Gyles and Barbara Webb’s beautiful farm is in the Helshoogte Pass, tucked into the southern folds of the Simonsberg, in the Stellenbosch region, and is home to a superbly efficient, modern cellar. Gyles Webb used to be an accountant until, he says, a bottle of Puligny-Montrachet changed his life. His vision, flair and undoubted charm helped Thelema to grow from ramshackle fruit orchards into a South African success story. Family run since 1988, now with son Thomas at the helm, Thelema has something of a cult following.
There are 90 hectares planted on this spectacular 257ha property. The wines are made by celebrated winemaker Rudi Schultz who also makes the Sutherland wines from their cooler-climate Elgin property.
