Bold yet refined, the 2021 Cavalli Estate 'Warlord' Red Blend from Stellenbosch opens with aromas of ripe plum, black forest cake, and cedar spice. The palate is polished and layered, featuring a soft mid-palate, elegant weight, and fine, well-integrated tannins. Balanced acidity adds freshness and lift, true to Cavalli’s signature style. This wine delivers both power and finesse—an expressive blend crafted for those who appreciate depth and structure in their reds.
Hand-picked at peak ripeness, each varietal in our 2021 Warlord blend was vinified with care. Cabernet Sauvignon fermented in stainless steel with daily pumpovers, while Malbec and Petit Verdot underwent punch-downs in small open-top fermenters for added depth. After fermentation, the wine matured for 22 months in French oak barriques, developing its structure, complexity, and signature Cavalli elegance before bottling.
