About this Item

Rubicon, 1988
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.

This was Nico’s son Hannes’ first vintage in charge, having previously worked at Chateau Lafite, before he took over all control of the family estate. 1988 is regarded as one of the finest vintages in Stellenbosch in the 1980s and the Rubicon is typical and fully mature.
