Meerlust Pinot Noir 2025
Red Wines
The wine shows a vibrant ruby colour with a youthful appearance. On the nose the wine shows pronounced lifted floral perfume and seductive bright red currants, cranberry, with black cherry and earthy notes of wild mushrooms, and hints of spice. On the palate echos thes pure Pinot fruit flavours on entry coupled with structed tannins and a fresh acidity. The wine has layered complexity with great elegance and finesse. Fine lacy, almost powdery tannin on the finish.
Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Red Wines
A deep, youthful ruby colour with an intense garnet hue. It offers aromas of dense blackcurrant, black plum, tobacco, graphite and cedar combined with oyster shell typical to our Cabernets’. Still young and intense, the palate is structured and packed with ripe black berries and wonderfully elegant tannins. Dark chocolate and salted liquorice on the finish. This is a classic and elegant vintage and will provide great complexity with further maturation.
Meerlust Rubicon 2023
Red Wines
The 2023 Rubicon leads with intense dark fruit, slight savoury nori notes followed by graphite and cool herbal tones. The palate is still very tightly curled, and opens with power and persistence with decanting. A Rubicon that truly expresses the ageability of the sites, but with elegance and balance that allows for earlier drinkability.
Meerlust Chardonnay 2025
White Wines
Bright pale-yellow in colour with a green, vivacious hue. Complex, appealing nose with a delicate perfume of white florals, yellow apples, pear and lemon citrus notes with hints of toasted almonds and vanilla. On the palate the wine is well structured and linear but retains generous, focused stone fruit flavours with sleek, balanced, and crisp acidity. The wine remains vivacious and fresh on the finish with clean citrus fruit underpinned by minerality, with a racey finish.
Meerlust Red 2023
Red Wines
Youthful ruby red colour, with a garnet red hue. Supple red and black fruit, with warm spice on the nose with some supporting oak notes. Still young and intense, the palate is full bodied, structured but packed with fresh red fruit and soft rounded tannins.
Meerlust Merlot 2023
Red Wines
Deep ruby red. Notes of brooding ripe black plum, dark cherry, dried herbs underpinned by dark chocolate and oak spice. The palate offers a concentrated dark fruit core, balanced with a lifted acidity while still delicate on the finish. This wine shows the balance, intensity and fruit purity of the 2023 vintage and as with all Merlot’s from the estate, will age gracefully and will gain in complexity and suppleness of tannin for many years to come.
