Thelema Mountain Vineyards

Simonsberg Mountain, Stellenbosch

Gyles Webb is one of the people who has done his darnedest to accelerate South Africa’s promotion into the top leagues of the wine world. Thelema was established by Gyles and Barbara Webb in 1983 when, with the backing of Barbara’s parents, they purchased the 62 hectare Thelema farm. A winery was completed five years later, and almost immediately, his wines were among the best the country had to offer. Gyles was influenced in his wine–making by visits to Tuscany, Bordeaux and California.
