Dating back to 1771, the farm has a long history.\u003cbr\u003e In 1964, former owners Stan and Norma Ratcliffe purchased Warwick, a former fruit farm. Viticulture started in 1981 with a focus on classic Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon). \u003cbr\u003eNorma Ratcliffe's dedication to winemaking made her one of the first female Cape winemakers. Warwick's \"First Lady\" series is a tribute to her achievements.\u003cbr\u003e The first release on the Warwick label was in 1984. Since then, it has won many awards both at home and abroad, and has grown into one of South Africa's leading brands and established its position.\u003cbr\u003e The winery is located at an altitude of 240-360m in the hills of the Simmonsberg Mountains, called the Red Wine Zone of Stellenbosch. This high position allows cool southeasterly winds to blow the vineyards in spring and summer. \u003cbr\u003eWarwick has a variety of slopes and different clay-rich soil types that produce unique terroirs and complex, characterful wines. The main soil types are granitic oak leaf and tukul. The vineyard has cool east facing, south east facing, south facing and slightly warmer west facing slopes. One of the top Cabernet Francs representing South Africa is produced here in Warwick, and its fields are on the south and southwest slopes.\u003cbr\u003e One of the things we take care in growing is that irrigation is kept to a minimum to express the unique terroir of this farm.\u003cbr\u003e Over the last ten years, we have also recognized the importance of biodiversity and strived to maintain a balance between nature and winemaking. \u003cbr\u003eOur soils have a high clay content so the need for irrigation is very low and some fields require no irrigation at all.\u003cbr\u003e Cover crops, such as legumes and radishes, planted in the winter months improve soil health, organic matter and microbial activity, and reduce the need for herbicides. As a result, many earthworms live in the soil.\u003cbr\u003e And when it comes to pest control, we rely on natural predators. Everything is cultivated and managed with respect for biodiversity. As a result, the problem of snails, weevils and other harmful insects is cleared.\u003cbr\u003e Warwick's philosophy is to never compromise on quality. We aim to perform at the highest level in all that we do. And the wine we aim for is elegance. It is a slightly modest classic style to express it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eoverview\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e●Cap: Cork ●Cultivation: Harvested from two excellent blocks of fields within the estate.\u003cbr\u003e ●Manufacturing: Destemming, skin contact for 36 days in stainless steel tank. 3-4 pumpovers a day during that time.
