Meerlust – Rubicon 2017 75cl Bottle

Meerlust – Rubicon 2017 75cl Bottle- Wonderful exotic aromas of plum, sandalwood and perfume, still with a touch of creamy vanilla. The palate is medium bodied with a forward dark fruit flavour of cassis and mulberry followed by a lithe tannic structure fleshed out with juicy fruit. The impression is one of litheness and grace rather than over-arching power.

• The grapes were harvested during veraison to reduce yields and increase concentration, tannin ripeness and fruit definition
• The different grape varieties are fermented separately before undergoing malolactic fermentation in new and seasoned oak
• Wine has an intense, dark purple colour with a violet rim
• The wine has a persistent and long-lasting aftertaste
