Responsible for this immense, liquid success is none other than Warwick Estate. This Stellenbosch winery has become an icon of regional viticulture. Although the winery has a fascinating, long history, its winemaking truly began with the Warwick Trilogy. From then on, they focused on traditional wines featuring Bordeaux grapes. However, with this Warwick Professor Black Pitch, they've combined both worlds. The winemaker has added a touch of Cinsault to this classic blend, giving this red wine a distinctly South African touch.
If you ever find yourself in South Africa, a visit to the Warwick vineyards is definitely worth it. You'll feel like you're in a completely different, almost fairytale-like world. The immense vineyards are surrounded by the famous Simonsberg, Kanonkop, and Klapmutskop mountains, which are also fantastic highlights. The beauty of the vineyards is directly reflected in Warwick's red wine. You'll smell and taste delicate, pure nuances of intense dark berries, fresh wild strawberries, fragrant violets, and striking herbs. Warwick Professor Black Pitch Black is certainly not your everyday wine, but it is highly recommended for any lover of South African wines.
