Persoonlijke gegevens
Thelema Mountain Vineyards is located on the southeastern side of the Simonsberg, with vineyards at an altitude of 530 meters above sea level. These are considered some of the highest elevations in Stellenbosch - the high elevation and soil profile are ideal for the production of premium wine grapes. Thelema believes that the quality of the grapes is the single most important factor in making a serious premium wine.
The Thelema Mountain Red is composed of 39% Shiraz, 33% Petit Verdot, 25% Grenache, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon - inspired by the Rhône. In the nose you will find notes of mulberry and plum. Completed with cracked black pepper and the local fynbos from the area. The tannins are well structured and offer an elegant finish. The Thelema Mountain Red is a wine of exceptional quality and with an excellent price-quality ratio. It's the perfect accompaniment to a typical South African braai!

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Thelema Mountain Red toont rijke smaken van moerbei en pruim, ondersteund door gekraakte zwarte peper, aardse fynbos-tonen en goed gestructureerde tannines die zorgen voor een elegante, lange afdronk. Door die fruitige diepte, peperige kruidigheid en stevige structuur combineert hij uitstekend met rundvlees, lam, gevogelte, charcuterie en alles van de barbecue; de tannines snijden door vet en het donkere fruit werkt mooi tegen zoute en gerookte smaken. Vooral gegrild of langzaam gegaard vlees met een kruidige rub of gerookte componenten, zoals een klassieke braai, herb‑crusted lam of gemarineerde entrecote, brengt de beste balans naar voren. |

Thelema Mountain Vineyards is situated on the South Easterly side of the Simonsberg Mountain, with vineyards sitting at elevations of 530m above sea level. These are considered to be some of the highest elevations in Stellenbosch - the high altitude and soil profile are ideal for premium wine grape production.
Thelema believes that the single most important factor of making a serious premium wine is the quality of the grapes.
Sutherland Vineyards is the sister company of Thelema Mountain Vineyards, with the vineyards located in Elgin. The wines are a true expression of the cool-climate conditions that make Elgin world renowned.
The Elgin Valley, positioned 70km southeast of Cape Town in the Overberg area, is uniquely situated on an elevated plateau, enveloped by four mountain ranges.
Sutherland Vineyards, located merely 9km from the Atlantic Ocean, at altitudes ranging from 140 to 250m above sea level, benefit from the nearby ocean, creating optimal cool climate conditions. Warm sunny days are complemented by cool nights, creating the ideal conditions for wine grape growing.
The wines are characterised by their linear, accessible, and contemporary qualities. The essence of Thelema runs through to that of Sutherland - both Thelema Mountain Vineyards and Sutherland Vineyards mirror one another. Sutherland wines are crafted and bottled at Thelema Mountain Vineyards in Stellenbosch.
