About the wine

Warwick Estate is a high-quality South African winery in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. It has a rich history that dates back to 1771. From 1771 to 1902 Warwick was known as farm De Goede Sukses”. After the Boer War ended in 1902, Colonel William Alexander Gordon, commanding officer of the Warwick SHIRE regiment, bought the historic farm. He renamed it “Warwick" as a tribute to his regiment. In 1964, Norma & Stan Ratcliffe developed the land with a great focus on planting Bordeaux varieties, mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Over the years, the winery won many prestigious wine awards and became a firm icon. In 2017, Warwick was acquired by Charles Marston and Kishore Bopardikar through Eileses Capital, their investment fund with the aim of building on the significant Warwick foundation and taking the property to a new level of global recognition. This was followed by the acquisition of the neighboring Uitkyk winery from Distell. This purchase effectively expanded the Warwick footprint to over 700 hectares of prime Simonsberg, Stellenbosch terroir. The Simonsberg Mountains are located in the center of the Cape Winelands, about 45 km from Cape Town. These striking mountains rise almost 1400 meters above sea level and offer a spectacular variety of slopes and climbs.
