About this Item

Cabernet Sauvignon, 2012
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Meerlust Estate has been the pride of the Myburgh family since 1756. Having previously visited Bordeaux, Nico Myburgh realised that the terroir there was very similar to that of his farm near the Eerste River. In 1978, Giorgio joined Nico at Meerlust in which was to be a dynamic, fruitful decades-long friendship and partnership between owner-vintner and cellarmaster.

Critics Ratings

'Seamless integration: all building blocks of elegant & restrained 2012 - glossy blackcurrant fruit, lithe tannins, judicious oaking (65% new), invigorating acid & balanced 13.5% alcohol - are placed, melded & polished.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*
