Meerlust Estate Rubicon 2017(Cabernet/Merlot/Cabernet Franc) – Magnum (1500ml)

Meerlust Estate Rubicon 2017 (Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Cabernet Franc/Petit Verdot) – Magnum (1500ml)
Stellenbosch, South Africa

The 2017 vintage was surprising in that from the very beginning it was similar to the superb 2015. A cold winter in 2016 followed but a warm spring ensured early and evening bud break. Although comparatively dry, as the Cape was still experiencing a drought, the 2017 crop was greatly enhanced by our ability to irrigate strategically, ensuring steady ripening and eventual phenolic development of even the later ripening vineyards. Strict green harvesting and exposure of the fruit to gentle morning sun yielded perfectly healthy and ripe fruit across all the varieties.
