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
Intense, vivid translucent youthful purple-ruby appearance. The wine shows pronounced lifted perfume on the nose with red berry fruit, musk, wild mushrooms and hints of savoury richness and spice and a clean vibrant minerality. On the palate there are very pure Pinot fruit flavours on entry with red cherry and musk flavours coupled with fresh acidity. The wine has layered complexity with great elegance and finesse. Very fine lacy, almost powdery tannin on the finish.
Food Pairing
White and red meats, duck, Parma ham, grilled line fish, tuna, wild mushrooms and traditional cheeses.
