Dark and brooding. Beautiful. There’s nothing like being at the winery with one of the owners pouring and telling stories until she (very politely) tells us she needs to leave to pick up her kids from school. Real wine.

Overgaauw is among my best finds in the South African wine scene. Complex and smooth, always elegant and challenging. First time tasting the Merlot offering, and it does not disappoint!

“The 1982 Overgaauw Merlot was the first vintage and first Cape Merlot to be bottled commercially. Very deeply tinted, healthy colours and a rich, satisfying minerally depth characteristic of fine Medoc Clarets”
