Meerlust


Overview
Long recognized for producing world-class wines, Meerlust Estate has been the pride of the Myburgh family since 1756. Today, the traditional dedication to the art of winemaking continues under the guidance of Hannes Myburgh, eighth generation custodian of this seventeenth-century national monument.

Meerlust, with its historic manor house, classic wine cellar, family cemetery, dovecote and bird sanctuary is situated fifteen kilometers south of Stellenbosch, with the blue crescent of False Bay a mere five kilometers away. The Estate is uniquely positioned for the production of wines with exceptional complexity and character. In the summertime, ocean breezes and evening mists roll in from the coast to cool the vineyards. The grapes ripen slowly, thus achieving full, concentrated varietal flavours. The soil consists of predominantly deep, well drained Hutton and Clovelly soil types, affording the vines excellent drought resistance and an ideal substrata for producing concentrated, complex wines. 
One hundred and ten hectares are planted with varieties such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Pinot Noir.

1998 Meerlust Rubicon

Comments from the Winemaker:
VINIFICATION
The different cultivars were fermented separately in steel tanks for 10 days. After malo-lactic fermentation the wines were blended in a ratio of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Once blended the wine was matured in Nevers for 18 months. 80% new wood and 20% second fill. After bottling, the wine was further matured for 24 months before release.

TASTING NOTES
Ultra dark, intense plum skin colour, opaque. Ripe, juicy opulent fruit on the nose, with exotic spice and hints of incense. Palate is full bodied, still youthful with vibrant acidity and dense, soft and rounded tannins. 

ANALYSIS
Residual sugar : 3.4 g/l
