Information about "Meerlust Rubicon 2022"
Meerlust Rubicon showcases a profound violet hue captivating the senses with delightful aromas of violets, ripe black plums, and luscious blackberries. Hints of cassis intertwine with notes of cedar, a fragrant bouquet garni, and a trace of spices. The palate reveals a young yet intense character, rich in dark fruit and well-rounded tannins. Integrative oak enriches this full-bodied wine, supported by zesty acidity.
A definitive testament to the Cape's viticultural heritage!
The individually vinified wines matured for eight months, with 60% in new Nevers oak and 40% in second-fill barrels. The final blend reflects the vintage, as each varietal contributes its unique terroir and flavor profile, beautifully expressed in 2022. Following the blend, all wines aged as a cuvée for an additional ten months in barrel before bottling.
