The Thelema Sutherland Emily Petit Verdot presents an intense bouquet of white pepper, fragrant violets and dark chocolate and caresses the palate with delicious nuances of roasted tobacco leaves and cigar box. A serious wine that deserves a permanent place in every wine cellar.

After establishing Thelema Mountain Vineyards as a cult winery in Stellenbosch, owner and winemaker Gyles Webb established Sutherland Vineyards as an exciting new venture in the cool-climate Elgin region. Handcrafted from the finest vineyard parcels, the Sutherland Reserve Collection is a tribute to Gyles' four beloved granddaughters. Strong, untamed and spirited, this wine is named for Emily Edna Hilton (the Quirky One), Gyles' second granddaughter.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were destemmed, hand-sorted with great care berry by berry, crushed and then placed in stainless steel tanks, where it was initially pumped over once a day for five days and then rested for two days before going into the press. Once the pressing process was completed, the wine was placed in French oak barrels, where it first underwent malolactic fermentation and finally aged for 18 months before bottling.
