Overgaauw Tria Corda 2020
R608.00
Merlot 38%, Cabernet Sauvignon 50%, Cabernet Franc (12%)
Matured for 18 months in French oak, 60% new. 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.
Alc 14.5% | TA 5.4 g/l | pH 3.62 | RS 2 g/l
Description
Overgaauw Wine Estate in Stellenbosch was an early champion of a Bordeaux-style blend. In 1979, a Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Cinsaut blend named Tria Corda was launched. Then in 1982, a more classic approach was taken by replacing the Cinsaut with Cabernet Franc. These 3 classic Bordeaux varietals have remained the components ever since. Tria Corda is a Latin translation for 3 hearts and refers to these 3 varietals that form the heart of the Overgaauw Wine Estate’s unique terroir.
