Description
In a nutshell:
A deep and spicy merlot led Bordeaux blend from one of South Africa's leading estates.
The lowdown:
It's a wine which may have grown up in the shadow of its big sister Rubicon, but it certainly deserves more attention in its own right. Intense blackcurrant and eucalyptus nose mix happily on the palate with green pepper and tobacco notes. The tannins are nicely soft and silky which give a good all round structure beofre it signs off with the signature elegant smokiness on the finish.
The Producer:
Meerlust, a longstanding Stellenbosch estate dating back to 1756, has played a pivotal role in shaping modern South African winemaking. They were among the first to grow Bordeaux varieties in the Cape, setting a pattern that's now widely emulated. Their flagship cuvée, Rubicon, is a masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, embodying their ultimate expression of the style. With a history steeped in tradition and innovation, Meerlust continues to be a benchmark for quality and craftsmanship, quietly influencing the region's viticulture with its understated excellence.
When to drink:
It's excellent value for money and when pairing with food it's a red that will stand up well against spicy dishes.
