About this Item
Situated in the foothills of Stellenbosch's iconic Simonsberg Mountain and with a history dating back to 1771, Warwick Wine Estate was purchased in 1902 by a Commanding Officer of the Warwickshire regiment. He renamed the farm Warwick as a tribute to his regime. Warwick's terroir offers the perfect confluence of elements to grow grapes of consistently outstanding quality. In the cellar, careful vinification yields fine wines with true varietal character and an honest expression of their origin. Warwick deeply cherishes what nature has provided and is committed to protecting and nurturing the land for generations to come. They dedicate time and passion to ensuring quality in every facet of their craft.

Critics Ratings
'Smooth & engaging 2016 chardonnay follows less refined 2015 (4 stars, 87 pts). Luxurious & rich fruit profile, lavish oak, all enlivened by fresh acidity, seam minerality from 2 mature vineyard sites. Natural ferment; 10 months 33% new oak. WO Stellenbosch.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 5*
'From a widely-admired private estate. Lovely texture and star-bright fruit and freshness. At the reduced price an absolute steal. Run, don't walk to take advantage of this offer.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Nov 2017)
'Warwick’s naturally fermented Chardonnay comes from a number of sites in Stellenbosch. Rich and quite oaky, with stone fruit sweetness underpinned by acidity, it needs a little more time to integrate in bottle. 2018-20' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 92/100
