Warwick The Blue Lady is a beautifully crafted Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases both power and finesse. Aromas of dark berries, plum, and red fruits are layered with notes of tobacco, cedar wood, and delicate pencil shavings. The palate is rich and complex, with finely textured tannins providing structure, while subtle oak spice enhances the depth of flavour. Balanced by fresh acidity, this wine has impressive ageing potential, promising further development over the next 3–5 years. A true expression of elegance and refinement, The Blue Lady is a standout among Stellenbosch Cabernets.
Made up from 2 vineyards, one on a Northerly Facing slope and the other on a South-Easterly slope, each component was harvested separately, de-stemmed and hand sorted into tank. The wines spent between 14 and 21 days on the skins, depending on their tannin structure with two to three pump overs per day. Once the fermentation is completed the wines are pressed to undergo malolactic fermentation in barrel and tank. After completion, the wine was racked to French oak barrels (38% new oak, 33% second fill, 20% third and 9% forth fill) for a period of 22 months. Components are blended and allowed to clarify naturally before filtration and bottling
