Reservations Accepted | 10/1/2021 1 Welcome to Virginia’s First Urban Winery! What’s an Urban Winery, you ask? Well, we are. Take a look around, and you’ll see a pretty unique blend of concepts. First and foremost, you’ll see wine made here under our Mermaid label, highlighting the potential of Virginia’s grapes and wine production. Virginia has a rich history of grape growing and winemaking, and we’ve selected the best grapes we can get our hands on for our Mermaid Wines. We primarily work with fruit from our Charlottesville vineyard, with occasional sourcing from other locations if we see the opportunity to make something special. We’ve put together some really enjoyable wines for you to try – some classic, some fun, all delicious. Secondly, you’ll see wines from all around the world. Some you’ll recognize, others you might not. These selections lend to our wine bar-style atmosphere and really enrich the experience by offering a wide range of wines to be tried. They’re all available by the bottle, and most by the glass and flight as well, right alongside our Mermaid Wines. The staff can tell you all about any of them, so rest assured that you’ll never be drinking blind. These wines also rotate with the season, and there’s always something new to try. We have a full kitchen too, with a diverse menu that can carry you through lunch, brunch and dinner from the lightest snack to a full-on meal. With dishes that can be easily paired with a variety of our wines, make sure you try anything that catches your eye. If you need a wine recommendation, we’re always happy to offer a suggestion or two. We even have a wine club – we’ve formed a community from all walks of live who’ve come together to enjoy learning, tasting, and pairing the many different varieties of wine from around the world, along with the history and culture of the wine world at large. Be sure to check that out on the next page, it’s well worth joining! So, thanks for joining us today. You’re always welcome here and we’re glad to have you share in our wine escapades here at Mermaid Winery.

    Current 2020 Sylvaner in General

    100% Sylvaner VINTAGE Since 1971; current 2020 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Sylvaner in general: Originally from Germany (where it is known as Silvaner), it became famous in early 20th century when it was Germany’s most planted varietal, before the discovery of the early ripening and higher production attributes of Műller Thurgau. Wine from this grape has a naturally high acid level, but no real longevity. It’s still popular in Nahe, Franken and Rheinpfalz where Riesling struggles to ripen - Sylvaner ripens 2 weeks earlier than Riesling. Excellent late harvest style wines are made in these regions. Sylvaner is also grown in other European countries such as France (Alsace), Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Russia. Sylvaner at Overgaauw: David Snr planted the first Sylvaner at Overgaauw in the 1960s (currently 1 ha). It was bottled in 1971 when most of the local producers were bottling Steen (Chenin Blanc) and Riesling (Cruchen Blanc). The Overgaauw Sylvaner is the only Sylvaner produced in SA. It’s made in small quantities and has a loyal following due to its flavour spectrum and uniqueness. German tourists enjoy tasting ‘their’ varietal in SA and comment that you can “taste the sunshine in the wine”. Restaurants often list it as a unique varietal on their wine lists and are pleasantly surprised at its versatility as a food wine. VITICULTURE Vineyard location: Stellenbosch Kloof, 200m above sea level, south facing, 15km from False Bay Moderate climate: Winter ave temp: 13ºC (min 7ºC, max 17ºC) Summer ave temp: 21.5ºC (min 20.5ºC, max 30.5ºC) Soil: Deep Hutton and Clovelly (decomposed granite) Age of vines: 27 years Trellising: 4-wire hedge system with moveable wires Pruning: Cordon system with 2 bud spurs, ensuring low yield Harvest date: February 2020 Yield per hectare: 8 tons Sugar at harvesting: 23ºB VINICULTURE Length of fermentation: 21 days in stainless steel at average 14ºC Alcohol: 12.5% vol Total acid: 5.1 g/l pH: 3.56 RS: 2.3 g/l OUR WINEMAKER DAVID VAN VELDEN’S COMMENTS First produced in 1971, our Sylvaner is still unique in South Africa.

  • La Fabriseria Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore 2010 35% Corvina - 30% Corvinone - 30% Rondinella - 5% Oseleta

    La Fabriseria Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore 2010 35% Corvina - 30% Corvinone - 30% Rondinella - 5% Oseleta

    Nicolò Tedeschi founded the company that bears his name in the Valpolicella area in 1824. He was a genuine personality of his time, renowned for his skill and moral stature. Throughout the years, his family has continued the traditional wine-making process, and today, the winery is owned by the fifth generation of Tedeschis: Antonietta, Sabrina and Riccardo. Each has various responsibilities, but it is Riccardo, the oenologist, who deals with production and acts as Tedeschi’s Export Director. La Fabriseria Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore 2010 35% Corvina - 30% Corvinone - 30% Rondinella - 5% Oseleta The Tedeschi family has endeavored to improve the quality of its wines and to accentuate the relationship between the traditional vines and the region. For this reason, Rosso La Fabriseria, a wine created with an international style has been completely re-conceptualized and today is being introduced to the wine drinking audience as a wine that is coherent with the rest of our production and completely rooted in the Valpolicella region. The grape selection consists of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and a small percentage of Oseleta. The grapes come from vines that are grown exclusively within the Valpolicella Classica Region and are left to over ripen on the vine. The wine yield per hectare is very low and does not exceed that of the Amarone wine. The wine is age exclusively in Slovenian oak barrels. TheValpolicella La Fabriseria is today a great and important Valpolicella wine and represents yet another wine that the Tedeschi family entrusts to tell the world the story of this splendid region. Vineyard notes: Soil: Moraine clay and limestone.
