Warwick

Warwick's land has been farmed since 1771, when a plot outside Stellenbosch named De Goede Sukses was granted to its first owner. In 1912, Colonel William Alexander Gordon bought the farm and proclaimed the name Warwick after his Warwickshire regiment.

Its vineyard blocks are sited between 240 and 360 metres on the foothills and mid-slopes of the Simonsberg. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot are grown, and nearly 99% of vines are accredited as virus free. Cover crops are sown to restore soil structure naturally and sustain microbial activity. Awarded Champion status by the World Wildlife Fund, Warwick uses minimal intervention from crushing to bottling, with oak used to support rather than overpower the wine. Its wines include Trilogy, a Bordeaux-style blend made since 1986, and The First Lady wine range.
