Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

The Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 has an intense, vivid purple colour with slight gradation at the rim. On the nose the wine shows intense cassis, plum and classic cedar wood-cigar box notes with lifted dark fruit aromas. On the palate the wine is full bodied and impressively structured. Intense blackcurrant and plum fruit bolstered by refined tannins and fresh natural acidity. The palate is rich and dense with a wonderful lacy tannic structure.

Very impressive in youth but the intensity, harmony and balance all promise maturation over the next 15 years.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Roast meat and game. Ideally served at 18ºC - 20ºC.

The Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 was vinified from selected fruit from low-yielding mature vineyards. The vines are densely planted on gravelly, low vigour Vilafontes and Dundee soil which has approximately 15 % clay to ensure water availability to the vines roots right through the growing season.

The fruit was hand-picked.
