The Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon presents itself in a bright ruby red colour in the glass and exudes a complex bouquet of intense, dense fruit aromas such as blackcurrants, plums, notes of vanilla and tobacco. On the palate this wine is impressively structured with full body and intense fruitiness. Cassis and plum notes combine perfectly with soft tannins, a fresh natural acidity and a long and satisfying finish.

The hand-picked grapes for the Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon were vinified according to traditional methods, using only the free flowing juice. The wine matured for 21 months in French Nevers oak barrels. 50% of the barrels were made of new wood, the remaining 25% of second filling.
