Product information "Meerlust Rubicon 2021"
Meerlust Rubicon flows into the glass of dense violet colour with an ebony core and ensnares the nose with wonderfully exotic aromas of plums, sandalwood and perfume, still with a hint of vanilla. On the palate it is medium bodied with a forward dark fruit flavour of blackcurrant and mulberry, followed by a smooth tannic structure, refined with juicy fruit. The impression is one of suppleness and grace rather than of superior strength.

Die separat vinifizierten Weine reiften acht Monate lang zu 60% in neuer Nevers-Eiche und zu 40% in zweitbefüllten Fässern. Die endgültige Cuvée ist kennzeichnend für den Jahrgang, jede Rebsorte verleiht durch ihre ganz individuelle Lage und Terroir das besondere Geschmacksprofil und Jahrgang 2018 bringt dieses hervorragend zum Ausdruck. Anschließend wurden alle Weine verschnitten und reiften als Cuvée weitere zehn Monate im Fass, bevor er in Flaschen abgefüllt wurde.
