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.

Treatment in the cellar

The separately vinified wines matured for 9 months with 55% in new Nevers oak and 25% in second filled French oak barrels and the remaining 20% in older French oak barrels. The final blend is characteristic of the vintage: 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, the lowest in Rubicon's history, with 28% Merlot, which gives this grape variety an excellent expression in the unusual 2016 vintage. All the wines were then blended and matured as a cuvée for a further 16 months in the barrel before bottling.
