One official label approval has the same normalised product name as this BottlePicker record. These approvals pre-date September 2021 and help check identity, stated ABV and the responsible trade name; they do not prove that the current bottle has the same formula, remains registered or is available in Texas.

What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Rustenberg John X Merriman 2022 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2022 red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Malbec in Bordeaux, South Africa.
Typical grape profile: Cabernet Sauvignon — Blackcurrant, cedar, graphite; ages well, especially in Bordeaux blends; Petit Verdot — Deeply coloured with violet, blackberry and spice; usually a small blending component in Bordeaux. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.
Soil structure and vine density
No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
For general cultivar-level heat guidance, see the Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Malbec growing profiles. BottlePicker does not apply a generic range to this bottle without a verified vineyard link.
Retailer-supplied identification details
Source copy retained to help verify the exact product; BottlePicker’s analysis above is based on structured identity and price evidence.
Named after John Xavier Merriman, who acquired Rustenberg in 1892 during the phylloxera crisis, this flagship red blend combines classic Bordeaux varietals with elegance and structure.
Vineyard & Terroir
The 2022 vintage consists of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 11% Malbec, and 6% Petit Verdot. The Stellenbosch terroir, with cool, wet winters and warm, ripening summers, provided excellent concentration and ripeness in the grapes.
Winemaking
Grapes were hand-picked, crushed, and de-stemmed. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs, followed by extended maceration of up to seven days. The wine matured for 20 months in oak barriques (35% new French oak; 65% second- and third-fill).
Tasting Notes
Cassis, black currant, dark fruits, cigar tobacco, and sour cherry, with structured tannins and a long, polished finish.
Grape Variety
Red Blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot) Food Pairing Grilled red meats, braised lamb, hearty stews, or mature cheeses.

Explainable food matching
Food matches from the recorded grape
These are style-level suggestions derived from the recorded grape variety, not a claim that BottlePicker tasted this bottle. Sauce, sweetness, oak and preparation can change the best match.
