Meerlust Proprietary Red 2022 1.5 Litre Magnum [WA 91]

Wine Advocate 91 points.

"The Meerlust 2022 Stellenbosch Estate Red, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, spent 16 months in French oak
and presents a polished, international profile. Dark fruit, spice and grilled herb are delivered with confident balance on the nose, while
the palate reveals a more distinctly South African character through its restrained, silky, mid-weight texture. Stellenbosch’s combination
of warm days and cooling maritime airflow supports this contrast between aromatic generosity and controlled structure." ML Feb 2026.

Tasting Notes

Youthful ruby red colour, with a garnet red hue. Supple red and black fruit, with warm spice on the nose with some supporting oak notes. Still young and intense, the palate is full bodied, structured but packed with fresh red fruit and soft rounded tannins.

Ageing Potential

Ageing potential of 5-8 years, provided wine is stored in ideal cellar conditions.
