Warwick Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc

R155.00

The Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc has always had a peach flavoured undertone and the Ratcliffe family believes this is due to the previous peach orchard plantings on the farm by “Professor Malcolm Black”, who was a pomologist at the University of Stellenbosch in the 1920’s. This Sauvignon Blanc comprises grapes from two vineyard blocks situated high on the Simonsberg Mountain. Multiple pickings add complexity, different aromatics and texture. The wine is aged on the lees for 100 days before blending and bottling.

Brand

Warwick

Warwick emerged on the forefront of South Africa’s wine scene in 1964 when Stan and Norma Ratcliffe bought the estate and started developing the land with an extensive focus on the classic Bordeaux varieties: Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Through determination and commitment, Norma Ratcliffe became one of the Cape’s first female winemakers – and one of its most illustrious wine personalities, whose legacy is immortalised in the Warwick “First Lady” range. The first wine under the Warwick label was released in 1984, then named “La Femme Bleu” – “Blue Lady” as it is known today. Two years later, in 1986, the Warwick Trilogy – a three varietal Bordeaux-style blend – was released and has since been recognised as a truly iconic wine, with multiple vintages adorning some of the greatest wine lists in the world. Throughout the years, Warwick’s wines have won many awards, firmly establishing the brand as a South African icon.
