Thelema – The Essence of Stellenbosch
Perched high on the southeastern slopes of the Simonsberg, Thelema stands among the highest-elevation wineries in Stellenbosch, reaching up to 530 meters above sea level. The cool, south-facing vineyards and iron-rich red soils provide ideal conditions for producing elegant, structured wines – most notably the Cabernet Sauvignon, which has earned Thelema worldwide acclaim.
In the cellar, the philosophy is one of minimal intervention, allowing each vineyard to express its true character. In addition to its Stellenbosch estate, Thelema also operates a second vineyard in the cooler Elgin Valley, known for its fresh, aromatic white wines. The phoenix on the family crest symbolizes renewal, passion, and the ongoing pursuit of excellence – values that define every bottle of Thelema wine.
