Meerlust Red is a Stellenbosch estate blend marking a permanent addition to the producer's portfolio, reserved for years that showcase excellent quality without meeting the exacting standards for flagship Rubicon. The 2021 combines Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot in a full-bodied, supple package with fresh red and black fruit, warm spice, and supporting oak. Structured yet approachable, with soft rounded tannins and aging potential of 5-8 years, this wine delivers classic South African elegance for near-term drinking.

"The 2021 Red is a Bordeaux blend aged in 300-liter barrels and foudres for 16 months. For me, the blend doesn't gel, and it feels rather muddled on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with slight grainy tannins, dark berry fruit and an abrupt finish." —Neal Martin
