Thelema
In 1983 Gyles Webb and his wife's family purchased a run-down fruit farm at the top of the Helshoogte Pass in Stellenbosch where they established Thelema Mountain Vineyards. At a time when the South African wine scene was focused on quantity rather than quality Webb was a trailblazing pioneer on a mission to craft world-class wines. Construction began on the winery in 1987 and Thelema produced its first vintage in 1988. Situated on the slopes of the Simonsberg Thelema occupies mainly south-facing aspects that afford spectacular views of the Simonsberg Drankenstein and Jonkershoek mountains. Elevations ranging from 370 to 640 meters above sea-level make the 157-hectare estate one of the coolest and highest wine farms in Stellenbosch.
Description
A vibrant Sauvignon Blanc with aromas of grapefruit, lime and fresh melon. The palate is lively and precise, delivering zesty citrus flavours, good texture and a dry, refreshing finish.
Food Pairing
Enjoy on its own as a refreshing aperitif, or alongside light dishes such as fresh salads, shellfish, grilled chicken or simply prepared seafood.
