The nose is super-complex: red and black berries, violets, herbs, undergrowth and vanilla while the palate is particularly harmonious – very flavourful, the tannins starting to mellow in pleasing fashion.
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 moreclassic 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.
