This dry red wine impresses with its balanced character.  Hints of cherries, plums and chocolate on the nose, subtle notes of wood and pepper in the taste and a velvety-soft finish of enormous length make this top shiraz an absolutely unforgettable wine experience.

Offering rich black cherry and raspberry flavours and floral notes, fine tannins and a mouth filling lingering complexity. Overgaauw is a wine estate of distinction situated on south facing slopes overlooking the Stellenbosch Valley. Deep granite soils and cool sea breezes enable the ideal cultivation of noble grape varieties. The resultant wines are nurtured to perfection by the inherited passion and experience of four generations of Van Velden Winemakers.

Pinotage, a truly South African grape, originated from a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut.  The FAT Bastard Pinotage was made from specially selected grapes from our ripe harvest resulting in a wine which displays intense fruit flavour and character.

All fruit was hand-harvested and gently pressed to retain these expressive aromas and flavours.  The wine was aged in small oak barrels to add greater weight and complexity.

The nose of this wine shows ripe plum and banana with a lingering impression of chocolate and plum pudding.
