About this Item
70% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine of Origin: Simonsberg - Stellenbosch
Winemaker: JD Pretorius
Crafted from the two best-performing vineyards on Warwick Estate over the past decade. The Cabernet Franc (clone 623B) was planted in 2008, and the Cabernet Sauvignon (clone 46A) in 2012. These vineyards consistently produce fruit of exceptional character and depth.
Tasting Notes: A dark and brooding nose reveals layers of cassis, dark berries, lavender and spice. The palate is broad and structured, with tightly knit tannins framing concentrated dark berry flavours. The finish is long, textured and compelling.
Ready for drinking from 2030 – 2035.
