Join us as we revisit a decade of Meerlust Rubicon (1996 – 2009) accompanied by a special menu at the U of T Faculty Club. These wines, from our original vertical tasting in September 2017, have been gracefully aging in our club cellar, and it is time that they shine and be enjoyed by our members. The Meerlust Rubicon was one of the highlights at our Agents Tasting event in March.


The vintages we have available include: 1996, 2001 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Each attendee will be poured 5 separate vintages of Rubicon. Due to limited inventory of some wines we need to combine some vintages for this event. These will be accompanied by a glass of Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 and we will begin with a reception glass of Paul Cluver Estate Chardonnay 2020.


This is a once off opportunity to enjoy one of South Africa’s classic red blends, in its prime as only SAWS members and guests can. The wines for this event will be poured as follows.
