The Meerlust Red is an elegant red wine cuvée from Stellenbosch that perfectly reflects the terroir and expertise of the famous Meerlust wine estate. As the "second wine" of the legendary Meerlust Rubicon, this blend offers a more accessible yet complex alternative with intense fruit, fine spice and a smooth tannin structure.

The grapes for the Meerlust Red come from the same first-class vineyards as the Rubicon. The cuvée usually consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, although Malbec or Petit Verdot may also be added depending on the vintage. After temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in French oak barrels to give it additional depth and elegance.

In the glass, the Meerlust Red is a deep ruby red with violet reflections. The nose is dominated by ripe dark berries, black cherries and cassis, complemented by subtle notes of cedar wood, spices and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is harmonious and supple with soft tannins, lively acidity and a long, spicy finish.

Ageing potential of 10 - 20 years, provided wine is stored in ideal cellar conditions.

    Fabulous wines, great prices, 2 day delivery door to door . Never fails to satisfy.

  • Bryan Balfe

    Placed our first order with Rainbow Nation Wines earlier this week, and have to say I am super impressed with the process. Quite a big order with some single and double selections as well as a couple of cases. Smaller order arrived after 2 days via An Post, and the larger order of the cases is out for delivery today with DPD.

    I have used RNW for a few years now and never been disappointed about my orders. Steve is sourcing many wines, new wineries on a regular basis, at different price points , always good quality. You can even ask for some specific wines and they will try to source them for you!
    The ordering and delivery process is seamless . Thank you Steve and team!

  • Dirk Coetzee

    Amazing selection of wines. I have ordered from them twice now and the wine arrived before the estimated delivery day, and very well packaged.
    And I should mention the great pricing for premium wines.
