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.
Warwick has been making the Trilogy for almost 40 years, without skipping a vintage! A bold new-world expression of Stellenbosch terroir that sets itself apart as being a Cabernet Franc-fronted blend of international repute.

‘The percentage of Cabernet Franc (41%) is the highest ever in this complex, refined old vine blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Lively, fresh and well balanced, with plenty of underlying structure and stylish, scented oak. One of the best ever Trilogies.'- Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100
‘This estate’s flagship red – a blend of 41% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot aged for 26 months in new and old French oak – is a tribute to the Ratcliffe family’s dedication to an expression of elegance. This shows florality, lift and serious complexity. 2019-2024’ - Steven Spurrier, Decanter, 92/100
