About this Item
Cabernet Sauvignon, 1978
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
Meerlust Estate, owned by the Myburgh family, has been in the family for eight generations. Located 5km from False Bay, the property was given the name 'Meerlust' from the original owner, which means 'pleasure of the sea'. The Meerlust name is synonymous with tradition, elegance and longevity. In fact, it was their Cabernet Sauvignon, produced since 1975, that was the first to carry the Meerlust label.
After the successful 1975 which won young wine awards, the richer 1978 shows more Cabernet Sauvignon character and power. The 1978 Rubicon remains of the finest and longest-aging wines of the 1970s.
