Heerlik om saam met ons land se voorste Merlot produsente te kuier by 2de @MerlotForum Top 10 kompetisie, al 20 finaliste se wyne te proe en saam met die 10 wenners te vier. Hoogste punte aan @RainbowsEndWine wat wynvat van @Taransaud1 en SA se 1e Merlot #Overgaauw1982 gewen het.

A big showing for #Stellenbosch Merlot where last year, 40 years ago, SA's first single variety merlot was bottled. That wine - an Overgaauw '82 (@DavidvanVelden) - was awarded yesterday to Stellenbosch winery @RainbowsEndWine as @MerlotForum's Top 10 best performer.
