“Cedar wood, spice, a touch of fynbos on nose and palate. Good acidity and layers of flavour that balance the ripe fruit, with a deft touch.”

“The 2016 Rubicon has an expressive nose of mulberry with subtle oak and red and brown spices. Comprised of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the full-bodied palate is still tight and structured with a grippy, chewy edge, but elegance can be gained with age and this wine ends well structured with focused balance.”

The Meerlust 2023 Stellenbosch Chardonnay shows generous aromas of stone fruit and Golden Delicious apple layered with sweet almond. Matured in a combination of new and neutral 300-liter barrels, with a small 5% portion of the fruit fermented in concrete tanks before blending, the wine balances richness with measured texture. Grown on estate vineyards farmed by the Myburgh family for eight generations, the decomposed granite soils of Stellenbosch contribute a quiet firmness to the character of the wine.
