The Cellar Master
Gyles Webb was a Chartered Accountant in Durban when he decided to change careers and become a winemaker. After reading an Enology degree at Stellenbosch University, and working stints in South Africa and abroad, he and his wife's family bought Thelema, a run-down fruit farm situated on the slopes of Simonsberg, a few kilometers outside Stellenbosch, and began converting the property into a wine estate.
Apart from wine, Gyles's other interests include food, music, bird-watching, wild-life, fly-fishing, golf and travel. He is married to Barbara and has three children, James (Artist), Caroline (Doctor) and Thomas (working at Thelema).
