Thelema Mountain Vineyards Johannesburg Trade Tasting 2013



A recent trade tasting of the near complete range of Thelema Mountain Vineyard at 54 on Bath Hotel in Rosebank, Johannesburg, confirms it's status as one of South Africa's top wineries, consistently over the last 3 decades producing some of the finest Stellenbosch Chardonnay's, Sauvignon Blanc's and Cabernet Sauvignon's, however their Sutherland range from Elgin, should not be ignored either, especially the newly released rose and Pinot Noir.

Stock up on the high scoring wines, by the time they reached their maturity, if you can resist until then!, they will besides the impressive quality and complexity, derived from bottle maturation, they will look unconvincingly cheap and these prices are probably over the next 2 years will be the last time we will be seeing such bargain!
