Warwick Estate Wine
The Warwick Estate is a family-
owned
and run winery. Managing
Director
Michael Ratcliffe is the 3rd
generation
family member to oversee this
high
quality boutique operation that
has
been lauded globally for
excellence
and consistency. Mike is
passionately
involved in many aspects of
the
South African and global wine
industry and has held senior
leadership positions in industry
bodies. From 1771 til 1902,
Warwick
Wine Farm was known as the
farm
‘De Goede Sukses’. After the
Anglo
Boer war in 1902, Colonel
William
Alexander Gordon,
Commanding
Officer of the Warwickshire
regiment
decided against returning to
England
and bought the farm. He
renamed it
‘Warwick’ as a tribute to his
regiment
and the rest, as they say, is
history.
Warwick was purchased on
April 1st
1964 by Stan Ratcliffe after an
extensive search for the best
‘terroir’
in the Cape. Together with his
new
bride Norma , they soon
realized the
potential of the extraordinary
property and began planting
Cabernet Sauvignon. The
Cabernet
Sauvignon vines produced high
quality grapes, which were
soon in
demand from neighbouring
wineries.
Norma became more and more
interested in the making of
wine and
began to study the subject.
Soon a
cellar was in place and in 1984
the
first ‘legal’ Warwick vintage
was
released (a Cabernet
Sauvignon). It
seemed Norma had the talent
for
making great wines and
production
soon increased. In 1986
Warwick
Trilogy was releases, a
Bordeaux
style blend which has since
became
one of the flagships of the
South
African Wine Industry. |
