Wine Range

Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon was the first wine produced under the Meerlust label, first vintage 1975.

The wine is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is made up from three very distinct parcels on the farm. Blocks were hand-picked and vinified separately and racked straight to barrel for 6 months where the components underwent malolactic fermentation. After this initial time in barrel, the final selection for the wine was made, the components racked and blended together, and the final wine was moved back to barrel for further 12 months of maturation. 50% new French oak was used in the maturation.
