Warwick Estate is situated in the heart of the Stellenbosch wine district at the foot of the Simonsberg. It was recreated on historic ground by Stan and Norma Ratcliffe in 1964. Warwick Estate owes its rise to one of South Africa's leading wineries to its co-owner Norma Ratcliffe, who has become famous as the "First Lady of Cape viticulture". Born in Canada, she was not only one of the first women to work as a winemaker, but was also self-taught. She caused a sensation as the first female member of the Cape Winemaker's Guild and as the creator of a favorite wine of Spain's King Juan Carlos. Since 1991, Norma's son Mike has been in charge of the winery, which is recognized by the American Wine & Spirit Magazine as one of the "Top 100 Wineries of the Year". This opulent Cape wine is worth a proud 90 points to wine pope Robert M. Parker. With his positive judgment, he is in the best of company: Spain's King Juan Carlos is also an ardent admirer of the complex cuvée made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (Bordeaux blend), which has matured in barrique barrels for more than 24 months.
