Rubicon
Meerlust · Stellenbosch, South Africa
About This Wine
Meerlust's Rubicon is arguably South Africa's most famous and historically significant Bordeaux-style blend, recognized globally for its classic elegance. Primarily driven by Cabernet Sauvignon, this full-bodied red from Stellenbosch showcases deep concentration and refined structure. Supported by high acidity and a 14.4% ABV, it balances ripe New World fruit with Old World savory tension. This iconic South African wine is beautifully suited for a hearty meal, pairing harmoniously with roasted beef, tender lamb, wild game meat, and poultry.
