From 1771 until 1902, Colonel William Alexander Gordon, Commanding Officer of the Warwickshire regiment, decided against returning to England and instead bought the farm. Warwick was purchased in 1964 by Stan Ratcliffe, after an extensive search for the best terroir in the Cape. Together with his new bride Norma, they soon realised the potential of the extraordinary property and began planting Cabernet Sauvignon.
