Retailer-supplied identification details
The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.
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.
