Warwick Estate is a family-owned and run winery. Managing Director Michael Ratcliffe is the 3rd generation family member to oversee this high quality boutique operation that has been lauded globally for excellence and consistency. Mike is passionately involved in many aspects of the South African and global wine industry and has held senior leadership positions in industry bodies. From 1771 til 1902, Warwick Wine Farm was known as the farm ‘De Goede Sukses’. After the Anglo Boer war in 1902, Colonel William Alexander Gordon, Commanding Officer of the Warwickshire regiment decided against returning to England and bought the farm. He renamed it ‘Warwick’ as a tribute to his regiment and the rest, as they say, is history. Warwick was purchased on April 1st 1964 by Stan Ratcliffe after an extensive search for the best ‘terroir’ in the Cape. Together with his new bride Norma , they soon realized the potential of the extraordinary property and began planting Cabernet Sauvignon

Each component of this Cape blend offers its own qualities. This year’s wine shows an explosion of fruit on the nose, which is largely attributable to the Pinotage component. The Pinotage is soft and sweet while the Merlot offers a subtle spiciness. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the backbone of the blend. Ripe tannins with an innate softness that will mature with cellaring. Full on the palate with a sweetness on the finish.

This wine has a plum garnet colour with a complex mix of fruits on the nose. A lively Pinotage sweetness balanced by careful wood ageing, plenty of ripe fruit and a spicy finish. The wine is very accessible and balanced.

James Halliday Australian Wine Companion

" More black than red fruits, more savoury nuances, and less juicy notwithstanding the screwcap and the fame of Warwick as a producer.
89 points ".. James Halliday

The wine displays an intense brick red dark colour. On the nose the wine expresses intense liquorice, prunes and blackberries with softer tone of mocha and dark chocolate and complex undertones of leather and cigar box
