About this Item

Meerlust
1982 Rubicon
1 (1 x 1) 3000ml

From a very special vintage, the beguiling and pure Rubicon 1982 is one of the greatest SA wines of the 1980s. This incredibly rare double magnum has been stored at Bergkelder since release and should show supreme verve for another couple decades.

Critics Ratings

Cerise-brick edge. Spicy, with camphor, mushroomy, earthy whiffs, primary fruit all gone but leaving behind a lovely integration and a harmonious finish. 16.5/20 (750ml). - Michael Fridjhon, World of Fine Wine (2014)
