Overgaauw Tria Corda 2019

R550,00

This Tria Corda is a full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Its seductively perfumed nose offers generous layers of cassis, raspberry, cedar and a touch of
spice. The nose follows through onto a silky, well-balanced palate that delivers fine tannins and a long, concentrated finish – the perfect foil for the wine’s brilliant fruit.

Overgaauw Wine Estate in Stellenbosch was an early champion of a Bordeaux-style blend. In 1979 a Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Cinsault blend named Tria Corda was launched and then in 1982 a more
classic approach was taken by replacing the Cinsaut with Cabernet Franc. These three classic Bordeaux varietals have remained the components ever since. Tria Corda is a Latin translation for three hearts and
refer to these three varietals forming the heart of the Overgaauw Wine Estate’s unique terroir.

About the Wine Estate

Everything Overgaauw is true to their roots. Heritage is not just a concept; it is a soil, roots and fruit reality lived out daily on our century-old estate. The first Van Velden to make wine at Overgaauw was Abraham, who founded the farm in 1905 and built his wine cellar four years later. He laid a foundation far bigger than a wine business – his would be a legacy of pioneering spirit, respect for the land and a passion for excellence. It was a vision so full of heart that it passed as naturally as DNA from one Van Velden generation to the next, with the result that over 100 years later, Overgaauw can make the extraordinary claim of being a fourth-generation family wine farm. Having planted and bottled the first Merlot in South Africa in 1982, this is a must visit wine farm.
