About this Item

1974 Cabernet Sauvignon
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

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 the 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.

This wine has been checked and re-corked by Amorim cork under supervision of auction curator Higgo Jacobs, assuring provenance, quality and long life. Seal code GR-743304, hH-824777, ub-717321 can be traced on Amorim Recorking Directory

Critics Ratings

'Rather advanced aromas and flavours – this wine shows a particular medicinal character with notes of caramel, herbs, spice and earth. The palate, however, has great weight and texture, being rich and broad with mellow tannins.' - Christian Eedes, 91/100 (Apr 2022)
