Cabernet Sauvignon is allowed to lead without softening blends or overt oak influence. The wine favours line, freshness and mineral structure, offering a composed, age-worthy profile that rewards patience. It is a Cabernet for purists — confident, disciplined and quietly expressive rather than showy.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with a firm, youthful hue. The nose is clean and direct, showing blackcurrant, graphite and crushed herbs, followed by subtle cedar and tobacco leaf. On the palate, the wine is taut and well-drawn — dark berry fruit, savoury notes and mineral grip move across fine, persistent tannins. Acidity is bright and supportive, carrying the wine into a dry, focused finish that holds its line with confidence.
Food Pairing
This Cabernet pairs best with dishes that respect its structure. It works beautifully with grilled beef, lamb cutlets, roast venison or mushroom-forward dishes. Leaner preparations highlight the wine’s precision, while slow-cooked proteins allow its tannins to settle and integrate naturally.
Description
This wine sits at the heart of Meerlust’s philosophy. Where Rubicon speaks in architecture, Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon speaks in line and clarity. The 2021 vintage favoured freshness and balance, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to express itself without excess ripeness or weight.
This wine is a a pure expression of Stellenbosch Cabernet shaped by restraint, discipline and long-term intent.
