About this Item
John X Merriman 2011
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
In 1892 the farm had previously been divided into two pieces and was nearing on derelict when 'future' Prime Minister of the Cape, John X Merriman, stepped in with his brother-in-law Sir Jacob Barry to rescue both farms. He played a great role in revitalizing Rustenberg and in promoting the tourism and agricultural value of Ida's Valley, the area close to the town of Stellenbosch in which Rustenberg is situated. The John X Merriman is Rustenberg's Estate wine.

Critics Ratings
'This has gorgeous flavors of dark plum, currant preserves and fig paste, enlivened with licorice snap, fruitcake and black tea notes. Solidly grippy, but polished and well-integrated overall, featuring a lovely iron note buried on the finish. Nice to see this historic cuvée trending up again.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Aug 2014)
