The Thelema Merlot is an elegant, full-bodied red wine from the renowned vineyards of South Africa.

It embodies a remarkable balance between gentle elegance and lively fruitiness. Ripe red cherries and juicy plums dominate the aroma and make for a seductive start that promises a tasty experience. The palate is round and harmonious, with a lingering, graceful finish that impressively underlines the finesse of the wine.

During vinification, the grapes are carefully destemmed to preserve as many whole berries as possible. After fermentation in steel tanks, the wine is drawn off, transferred to storage tanks and placed in French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation. The Thelema Merlot is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new barrels and the rest in older barrels, which adds depth, complexity and subtle spice.

This Merlot is an excellent accompaniment to grilled meat, game, hearty stews or mature cheese. It is best enjoyed at a drinking temperature of 16-18 °C to experience the full spectrum of aromas.

Thelema Mountain Vineyards

Thelema Mountain Vineyards liegt hoch am Helshoogte Pass des Simonsbergs im weltberühmten Weinbaugebiet Stellenbosch in Südafrika.

Gyles Webb, eigentlich Buchhalter von Beruf, kaufte zusammen mit seiner Frau die ursprüngliche Obstfarm 1983 und begann in der Zeit Weinbau in Stellenbosch zu studieren. Der Erfolg ließ nicht lange auf sich warten, bereits Mitte der 90er Jahre waren seine Weine weit bekannt und er gewann zahlreiche Preise und Auszeichnungen.

Bei Thelema Mountain Vineyards sind rote Weine mit Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot sowie Shiraz und Cabernet Franc vorherrschend. Weißweine der Spitzenklasse von den Sorten Sauvignon Blanc und Chardonnay gehören allerdings auch zum Repertoire.

Barbara und Gyles Webb leiten heute das Unternehmen Thelema Mountain Vineyards. Zum Unternehmen gehört seit 2002 auch ein zweiter Weinberg im Elgin Valley, wo die Marke Sutherland Vineyards produziert wird.

Thelema Sauvignon Blanc

The Sauvignon Blanc from the prestigious South African winery Thelema is a prime example of the style of the Cape region: clear, aromatic, mineral and with remarkable freshness.

You can look forward to a wonderfully refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with aromas of grapefruit and melon on the nose. Balanced, light and invigorating on the palate.Enjoy Thelema Sauvignon Blanc as an aperitif or with salads, oysters, scallops or chicken. A remarkable dry wine from the renowned winery, which only uses grapes from its own vineyards.
