Meerlust Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (50th Anniversary edition)
Stellenbosch, South Africa

Very deep, youthful colour with an intense garnet hue. The nose shows dark and red fruit mixed with a slight mint note. Still young and intense, the palate is structured and packed with ripe blue berries and wonderfully elegant tannins. Dark chocolate and salted liquorice on the finish. This is a powerful vintage despite the challenging season and will provide great complexity with further maturation.

To commemorate 50 years of Meerlust Estate Wine – 1975 to 2025, Meerlust has released the Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 vintage with a special commemorative label referencing the Meerlust labels of the 1970’s. Cabernet Sauvignon was specifically selected as it was the first wine to carry the Meerlust branded label. This commemorative package is complete with a gift Tin, signed by Hannes Myburgh.

The maiden Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 1975 had already proven itself as a wine of exceptional quality before its release in 1978. As a young pre-bottled wine this Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded a gold medal at the 1975 Stellenbosch Regional Wine Show, as well as winning the trophy for overall Champion Young Red Wine at the South African Championship Wine Show held in the same year.

To celebrate this milestone, Meerlust will release the Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 vintage under a special 50 year commemorative label. The exceptional 2021 vintage was awarded 95 points by Tim Atkin MW, and makes for a wine worth cellaring for up to 20 years.
