Meerlust Estate's premier wine, Rubicon, is a meticulously crafted blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. This intense yet refined wine exemplifies the standard of Meerlust, showcasing the depth and complexity characteristic of the estate's offerings. It features a pronounced nose with rich black currant and plum aromas, accented by exotic spices and a hint of minerality. The palate is vibrant, filled with robust black fruit and a pronounced spiciness, all supported by well-structured, ripe, satin-like tannins. With a maturation potential of 20 years, Rubicon is an excellent partner for steak, roast beef, lamb, game, and ripe cheeses.
