Still proudly the first single varietal Merlot ever bottled in South Africa the Overgaauw Merlot has retained its original ’Cape European’ style. A well-structured, medium-bodied wine with a rich combination of black cherry, floral and oak spice notes, fine tannins and a mouth filling lingering complexity. While it can be enjoyed now it invites at least another 5 years in the bottle.
Foie gras, rare beef roast, grilled leg of lamb with fresh herbs, roasted lamb with creamy blue cheese and nuts, pan fried pork and red berries, duck and prune casserole, Osso bucco.
