About this Item

Cabernet Franc, 2009
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

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.

The wine displays an intense ruby red colour in the glass. The bouquet is reminiscence of cherries and blackcurrants and has tones of dark chocolate and cigar box. The pallet is full bodied with firm but silky tannins.

Critics Ratings

'Following 2008, varietal-pure 2009 again confirms the terroir match here. Mulberries, white pepper & a distinctive herb/scrub nuance are bolstered by firm but ripe tannins. A great future, 10+ years, for those who can wait.' - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2013, 5*
