Expressive nose of lemongrass, passionfruit and green apple is enhanced on the palate by tropical fruits, fresh herbs, and green melon. The palate is smooth and textured with a well-integrated acidity. Ready to enjoy now but will benefit from aging over the next two to three years.
Grapes are picked in the early hours of the morning and transported to the cellar. De-stemmed and crushed into strainers for skin contact of between 2 and 6 hours, depending on the acidity levels.
After pressing, the juice is transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation at cold temperatures to promote aromatics. After fermentation the wine is kept on the lees for a short period of time to retain beautiful aromatics, blended and bottled in June.

Warwick Estate is a family-owned and run winery. 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.
It was in 1986 that the first Warwick Trilogy was released - a Bordeaux style blend which has since become one of the flagships of the South African Wine Industry. Warwick has won many accolades over the years and was featured for a second time in Wine spectators’ wines of the year.
