Meerlust Rubicon 2017 750ml is one of South Africa’s most iconic and celebrated red wines, produced on the historic Meerlust Estate in Stellenbosch. Widely regarded as a benchmark Bordeaux-style blend, the 2017 vintage is recognised for its remarkable balance, concentration, and long-term cellaring potential.

Crafted from a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, Rubicon 2017 showcases exceptional depth, complexity, and terroir expression. The palate reveals layers of blackcurrant, cassis, ripe plum, blackberry, cedarwood, graphite, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, liquorice, violet, and subtle oak spice.

Full-bodied and beautifully structured, the wine offers fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that create a seamless balance between power and elegance. Careful maturation in French oak barrels enhances complexity and refinement while preserving the purity and intensity of the fruit.

The acclaimed 2017 vintage produced wines of outstanding quality across Stellenbosch, and Rubicon 2017 is no exception. It displays remarkable concentration, precision, and ageing potential, with the ability to develop additional layers of sophistication and complexity over many years in the cellar.

The finish is exceptionally long, smooth, and refined, lingering with notes of cassis, dark berries, cedar, graphite, spice, and fine oak. Meerlust Rubicon 2017 pairs exceptionally well with grilled steaks, roast lamb, game dishes, rich casseroles, and mature cheese
