94 Points – Owen Bargreen: Golden straw color, notes of citrus, vanilla and apple on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate with pear fruit, good minerality, a hint of honey and a long clean finish.

100% Chardonnay

Year after year this Shafer-owned vineyard offers up wine with plush, exotic, zesty aromas and flavors. This is Shafer’s single-vineyard Carneros-grown Chardonnay, matured on the lees for around 14 months. To quote the critic Antonio Galloni, `Soft, creamy and layered in the glass, the 2019 possesses superb balance from the outset.

95/100, Greg Sherwood MW, A Fine Wine Safari. "Meerlust Rubicon is undoubtedly one of South Africa’s greatest wine ambassadors. If you have not tasted it yet, you are indeed missing out on one of the great Bordeaux blends produced in the Cape."
