Overgaauw Sylvaner 2006

3½ stars John Platter Wine Guide 2007
Overgaauw’s Sylvaner is unique in South Africa since 1971. A delightful wine with melon, pineapple and dried peach aromas which follows through on the palate. The wine finishes with a spicy (ginger) and lingering mouth feel.

It is a wine that can be enjoyed at many occasions.
