      • About wine:

        This almost purple wine is featured in the book “100 Best Wines in the World.” Suitable for ageing.
        We recommend serving at 18–20°C

      • Harvest and ageing:

        The Cabernet wines undergo a long maceration, followed by six months of fermentation and a further 18 months of ageing in French oak barrels.

      • Suitable for food pairing

        This dry red Stellenbosch cuvée pairs wonderfully with beef steak, lamb chops, or braised meat. It also complements game and mature cheeses such as Cheddar or Comté. Avoid light fish dishes and overly spicy foods, which could overwhelm its structure.

      • About the winery

        Meerlust Estate, founded in the 18th century near Stellenbosch in South Africa, is one of the country’s most respected producers of premium wines. It is best known for its iconic red blend, Rubicon, which combines Bordeaux varieties with elegance and ageing potential. Chris Williams was its longtime head winemaker and helped strengthen Meerlust’s reputation.
