MEERLUST COLLECTOR’S BOX
(Price Guide: R 3000)

Collector's box of five Meerlust wines for vintages of 2017 and 2019, including the Meerlust Rubicon 2017.

The 2017 Rubicon is described as incredibly dense purple-ebony core with very slight gradation at the rim, the nose is brooding, dark bramble fruit, cassis, plum, incense and liquorice, it is still very tightly coiled, slowly offering cigar box, crushed stone and subtle oak spice. On the palate the wine is concentrated yet restrained with dark fruit flavours of pastille, mulberry and dark chocolate, all held in an intricate lattice of polished sleek grape tannin. Still very young yet approachable, this Rubicon promises a long future of maturation and enjoyment. Its technical details are 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot food suggestions Ideally served at 18°C - 20°C.

The highest bid from the online auction will be the opening bid for the live auction at the SH cabaret dinner.
