About this Item

Warwick
Blue Lady Cabernet Sauvignon, 2014
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.

Back in 1984, the single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon block was called “La Femme Bleu”. At the time, it felt like a French name worked as a tribute to the region of Bordeaux. Of course, we now know that the coolest thing about this iconic wine is that it’s 100% African, and demonstrates to the world the true power of Stellenbosch terroir.

Critics Ratings

'Warwick’s Blue Lady Cabernet always comes from the higher part of the farm on the Simonsberg. Referred to as “the big daddy” by Mike Ratcliffe, the 2014 is a dense, compact, stylish red with inky depths and an undertow of minerality. Drink 2019-26.' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2017, 93/100   'Best 11 barrels from a single Cabernet vineyard, 2014 expresses black & red fruits encased by authoritative tannins, dusted with tobacco, cedarwood from 26 month oak, 62% new. Decant now, or better, cellar - will reward the patient.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5*
