The Meerlust estate is a world reknowned estate located in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa, famed for its excellent examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinotage.
The Meerlust "Red" is a Bordeaux Blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc, which has been matured in barrel for 18 months before bottling (40% new French oak, 60% second fill barrels)
Colour: Deep, purple, inky black. Intense
Nose: Intense aromas of blackcurrant and other black fruits with surprisingly enough quite a nose of blackcurrant leaves with slight herbaceous notes.
Palate: Again quite powerful aromas of black fruit, chief amongst which blackcurrant. The 14% alcohol is hardly noticeable; it shows the wine has been very well crafted. Long long lingering finish with coffee aromas on the aftertaste. Deep, powerful, long-lasting wine.
