Meerlust Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Meerlust Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - Stellenbosch, South Africa

From one of South Africa’s most historic and revered estates, Meerlust’s Cabernet Sauvignon is a benchmark Stellenbosch red: concentrated, structured, and beautifully polished. The estate’s deep alluvial soils and cooling False Bay breezes help produce a Cabernet that balances richness with freshness—showing why Meerlust remains a pillar of Cape fine wine.

The nose offers classic varietal depth: blackcurrant, plum, graphite, cedar, and hints of tobacco leaf and violets. On the palate, it’s full-bodied yet refined, with ripe dark fruit, firm but velvety tannins, well-integrated oak, and a long, savoury finish. Although immediately pleasurable, it has the backbone and balance to age gracefully for years.
