Warwick Estate's The Blue Lady Cabernet Sauvignon, a distinguished South African wine, delivers a sensory delight. The luscious flavours of ripe berries and plums intricately meld with a sophistication of fine oak, expressing notes of cedar wood, star anise, and sweet spice. Its profound depth evokes hints of dark chocolate while the well-integrated tannins sing an opulent serenade of balanced structure. This bottle encapsulates a vivid personality, mirroring the mystery and elegance of The Blue Lady herself. A charismatic wine to be savoured, it is an impressive testament to Warwick's vinicultural prowess. Truly, a connoisseur’s delight to be paired with lavish dinners.

Tasting Notes

Concentrated nose of dried herbs and warm spices complimented with dark berries and cassis. Fine powdery tannins with signature varietal grip, yet still smooth and inviting. Long and lingering dark fruit flavours gives the wine length and a moreish freshness keeps you coming back for more.
