Long recognised for producing premium wines, Meerlust Estate has been the pride of the Myburgh family since 1756. Today, the dedication to the art of winemaking continues under the guidance of Hannes Myburgh, 8th generation custodian of this 17th Century national monument.
Meerlust were the pioneers of Bordeaux varietals in the Cape, and were the first to produce their iconic, award-winning wine, 'Rubicon' in 1980. Based on the classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the name Rubicon comes from the Rubicon River, the border of the ancient capital. It is said that Julius Caesar led his troops to Rome and making the crucial decision to cross the Rubicon, marked an irrevocable point in history - there could be no turning back.
The ripe plum and intense spiciness of the wine pairs extremely well with red meats, venison and game.
