About this Item
1988 Rubicon
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Meerlust Estate, owned by the Myburgh family, has been in the family for eight generations. Located 5km from False Bay, the property was given the name 'Meerlust' from the original owner, which means 'pleasure of the sea'. The Meerlust name is synonymous with tradition, elegance and longevity. In fact, it was their Cabernet Sauvignon, produced since 1975, that was the first to carry the Meerlust label.
This was Nico’s son Hannes’ first vintage in charge, having previously worked at Chateau Lafite, before he took over all control of the family estate. 1988 is regarded as one of the finest vintages in Stellenbosch in the 1980s and the Rubicon is typical and fully mature.
