Thelema Mountain Vineyards Sutherland Grenache 2023
Sutherland Grenache is a premium South African wine made from 100% Grenache grapes, produced by Thelema Mountain Vineyards in the cool‑climate Elgin Valley, just 9 km from the Atlantic Ocean.
Origin and Terroir
Thelema Mountain Vineyards, led by Gyles Webb, established Sutherland Vineyards in the early 2000s after finding a small apple orchard site in Elgin. The location’s proximity to the ocean and altitude of 140–250 m create ideal cool‑climate conditions, producing wines with balance, depth, and complexity.
