Olive oil and wine can be tasted separately or together here, with the wines split between Bordeaux varieties and the Giulio Range, an Italian line named after operas. Giulio Bertrand, a businessman from Piedmont, bought the Somerset West estate in the early nineties, planted olive trees and brought Sangiovese vines from Italy.

Grape
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is a parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, and Warwick bottled the Cape's first single-variety one in 1988.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Stellenbosch grows close to a third of South Africa's Cabernet Sauvignon, cooled by afternoon breezes off False Bay.

The Helderberg
The Helderberg is not an official ward, so its wines say Stellenbosch on the label. The sea breeze from False Bay is its signature.
