Meerlust, Rubicon, 2020

Few wines have done more to define modern South African fine wine than Meerlust’s Rubicon. First produced in 1980, it was a bold statement: a Cabernet-led Bordeaux blend from Stellenbosch that could stand beside the greats of the Old World. Today, it's a benchmark South African blend that has proved it can age 20 years or more. With savory tannins and classic hints of kirsch, tobacco and eucalyptus, it continues to encapsulate the best of Stellenbosch.
