Winemaker Notes

The Rubicon is a true expression of the Meerlust estate and draws fruit from our four distinctive terroirs. Each terroir provides a unique element to the final blend. Very deep, youthful colour, and intense almost purple hue. Quintessential Rubicon nose with violets, ripe plum, cedar wood, fennel, and intense spiciness. A typical liquorice note also evident on the nose. Still young and intense, the palate is full bodied, structured but packed with fresh dark fruit and rounded tannins.

67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot

Winemaker Notes

Exceptionally intense and complex on the nose with blackberry, black cherry and bramble in abundance and subtle hints of forest floor, dark chocolate, aniseed and spicy tobacco. The walk in the Black Forest continues with blue and blackberry dancing on a tight rope with focus and concentration, following through onto a perfectly balanced, fine-grained, velvety palate. The finish lingers with hints of fresh mint, cinnamon and perfume. Complex and structured.

CINSAULT

 

This old-bush Cinsault was planted in 1953. The vineyard had been designated to be planted entirely to Pinotage, but a Pinotage shortage meant the project could not be completed. Fortunately, the remaining section was planted to Cinsault. The Lone Wolf, with its lifted floral notes, fragrant spices, cherry and fresh acidity, is a tasty reversal of that tired old saw about best-laid plans.

PINOT NOIR

 

Winemaker Notes

Translucent ruby with a youthful strawberry edge. An  intricately  structured  wine  with  a  delicate  entry,  blossoming  into  a  poised  concentration  of  wild  berry  flavours  and  oak  spice.  Gains  complexity and richness before ending with a long, finely textured finish. Drinking well already, yet promises greater integration and intrigue for up to 10 years from vintage.

Palomino, Verdelho

 

A whole-bunch, clay pot, bees-waxy Palomino. The wine is true to it’s name - (L’E) STRANGE! It's made from humble Palomino, which originated in the Sherry producing areas of Spain. The cuttings were brought to the African continent by ship and planted in 1965 on the mountain in Piekenierskloof, 550 meters above sea level. The 54-year old bush-vine vineyard, grown in African soil was made in African pots made from Limpopo clay, enhanced by the wax of African bees producing honey from African flora - meticulously guided, bottled and labelled by the colourful hands of the African people.

GRAPE

Weisser Riesling, Semillon and Sauvignon blanc

 

Winemaker Notes

The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4 degrees celsius. The next morning the grapes were pressed as whole bunches. The juice underwent spontaneous fermentation in concrete egg shaped tanks, amphora and older French oak barrels. Deep winter the wine received one sulfur addition. 10 months on the leese, blended and bottled.

94 Points,  Tim Atkin

Autumn Equinox is a new wine from Pieter Walser - or rather a resurrected one, as it was called DOK in a previous life - made from an assemblage of Semillon, 30% Riesling and 25% Sauvignon Blanc. Aged in amphoras and old wood for a year, it's sappy, intense and very stony, with pear, lemon zest and lanolin notes and layers of intrigue and complexity. Drink 2023-29’

Verdelho from 2 different vineyards, Palomino, Weisser Riesling, Semillon, Sauvignon blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Chenin blanc from 3 different vineyards, Chardonnay and Viognier The idea behind this wine was (and still is) to select the white components in the winery we like most and to assemble a blend that represents that particular vintage in an honest and pure way. This is OUR favourite wine, not necessarily the best. The one that we as a team like the most. It is not bound to an area or varietal - it is an assembly of interesting things that differs from year to year according to whatever performed well that specific season.

A  generous  palate  that  is  powerful  yet  intricate.  Pronounced  citrus  fruit  purity is layered with hints of oak and signature minerality. Finishes with remarkable intensity and length. Enjoy now, or allow this wine to allure you with its elegance for a further eight to 10 years.
