"The Estate Red is Meerlust’s attempt to compete with brands like The Chocolate Block and Rupert & Rothschild's Classique. First made in 2020, it has quickly established itself in the market, with a stylish assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. Leafy, fresh and herbal, with appealing purity and subtle 20% new oak, it’s a deliciously drinkable glass of wine. 2027-32" – Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2026, 93 points

On the palate

Redcurrant, cranberry and black cherry lead into field herbs and cedar spice. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with fresh red fruit and soft rounded tannins carrying into a long, savoury finish. If you like classic Stellenbosch red blends with freshness, herbs and polished structure, this is an easy fit.
