Very deep, youthful colour, and intense almost purple hue. Quintessential Rubicon nose with violets, ripe plum, cedar wood, fennel, and intense spiciness. A typical liquorice note also evident on the nose. Still young and intense, the palate is full bodied, structured but packed with fresh dark fruit and rounded tannins. This is a vintage that is more approachable in youth because of the ripeness and richness levels attained in 2018 but will provide great complexity with further maturation. Ageing Potential: 10 – 20 years, provided wine is stored in ideal cellar conditions.

Product Notes

A symbol of finesse, the Meerlust Estate Rubicon Wine is a captivating fusion of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, embodying the rich history of the Meerlust Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa. A formidable aroma of dark berries and spices seduces the senses, leading to a complex, boldly flavoured palette. Velvety tannins contribute to a finely-structured, opulent body, with lingering notes of plum and chocolate. Its elegant finish, echoed by a charming hint of oak, presents a perfect balance of fruit and acidity. This exquisite red blend is a robust tribute to the venerable tradition of South African winemaking.
