Named after the famous architect who designed various of the early Cape’s well-known buildings, including the Koopmans-De Wet House on which De Wetshof’s main-building is based, the Thibault represents Peter de Wet’s passion for red wine which he obtained working the vineyards of Bordeaux and California.
