Description
Meerlust Rubicon is one of South Africa’s most celebrated red blends, hailing from Stellenbosch. A Bordeaux-style blend typically made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, it’s a wine of structure, elegance, and depth. On the nose, it shows blackcurrant, plum, graphite, and sweet tobacco, with hints of cedar and dried herbs. The palate is rich yet refined, featuring fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, and layered flavours of dark fruits, spice, and oak. Aged for over 18 months in French oak, it gains complexity and aging potential. This is a serious wine that performs well against global benchmarks, suitable for special meals or long cellaring. Ideal with lamb, beef roasts, or grilled mushrooms, Rubicon reflects both the strength of South African terroir and Meerlust’s commitment to classic winemaking.
