Tasting Note

Weather vagaries and Meerlust’s exacting quality requirements determine that not every vintage is worthy of our flagship red blend Rubicon. Thus is born, in rare years, our collector’s Meerlust Red 2019. The Red 2019 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aged in French oak for 17 months. Intense fresh red fruit combines with floral, spicy notes in a medium-bodied wine with a soft, silky texture.

Product Notes

Meerlust Estate Red is a sumptuous, ruby-hued blend, crafted from the highest quality grapes in the heart of South Africa’s winelands. Featuring a delightful medley of dark fruits, balanced by subtly spiced undertones, this wine embodies immense sophistication. Its rich, silky body encapsulates savoury notes of truffle and oaky cigar box, creating an enchanting aroma matched by an equally exquisite palate. Elegantly matured to a velvety finish, Meerlust Estate Red offers a truly engaging wine-drinking experience, appreciated by connoisseurs and novices alike. This exceptional wine is testament to Meerlust’s commitment to producing exceptional vintages worthy of its esteemed reputation.
