Warwick Estate First Lady Cabernet Sauvignon

The Warwick Estate First Lady Cabernet Sauvignon is a South African red wine from the heart of Stellenbosch – and it tells a story that is worth hearing.

Warwick Estate cultivates approximately 70 hectares of vineyards in Stellenbosch. Founder Norma Ratcliffe instilled in the estate a distinctive, classic European style through study trips to Bordeaux: intensely colored, concentrated, and designed for longevity. With The First Lady , her son Mike, who now manages the estate, creates a personal tribute to his mother.

The wine matures for 18 months in French oak barrels – this noticeably shapes it. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​red color. The bouquet opens with sweet blackberries, ripe cherries, tobacco, dark chocolate, and a delicate hint of cinnamon. On the palate, it offers a full, rounded body with velvety-smooth tannins, culminating in a long, elegant finish.

Recommended for:

• Grilled lamb loin or beef fillet
• Mature hard cheeses like Manchego or Comté
• Hearty braised dishes with dark sauce

A wine you open when the evening is going to be meaningful.
