Meerlust
Eight generations of winemaking since 1756 have made Meerlust one of South Africa’s most revered estates. Cooled by False Bay breezes, the vineyards produce world-class wines, including the iconic annual Rubicon release. Today, Meerlust blends deep heritage with a quietly modern approach to fine wine.
Description
The 2022 Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon displays deep ruby to plum-black color in the glass. On the nose, expect pronounced dark fruit aromas of cassis, plum, blackberry and blackcurrant complemented by classic Cabernet elements such as cedar, subtle oak spice and earthy tones. On the palate this wine is full-bodied, richly structured with concentrated dark fruit flavours balanced by fresh acidity and refined tannins. The finish is long, elegant and persistent with lingering dark fruit and gentle oak spices.
Food Pairing
Pairs excellently with rich red meats such as grilled ribeye or roast lamb, hearty stews, braised game, and mature cheeses. The wine’s structure and tannins complement protein-rich dishes and fatty textures.
