Thelema Wine
In July 1983 the McLean
Family Trust bought the old
fruit farm Thelema, situated
on the top of the Helshoogte
Pass about 6 kilometers
outside of Stellenbosch. This
purchase was the culmination
of a long search by Gyles and
Barbara Webb for that rare
location where exceptional
wines could be made, for this
is their sole intention.
The farm comprises 157 ha of
land on the slopes of the
Simonsberg. The elevation
ranges from 370 to 640
meters above sea level of
mainly south-facing slopes,
making Thelema one of the
highest and probably coolest
wine farms in the
Stellenbosch area. Although
wine had been made on the
farm in the early part of the
century and table grapes
produced until the late 1960's,
there were no vines on the
farm at the time of purchase.
The 25 ha under cultivation
consisted of plums, apples
and pears in varying stages of
degeneration. The neglected
state of the farm could not
detract from its charm - there
are spectacular views of the
Simonsberg, Drakenstein and
Jonkershoek Mountains and
the farm is dotted with
enormous oak trees. It has,
however, involved an
enormous effort to convert
Thelema into a wine farm. |
