葡萄品种：赤霞珠、梅洛、品丽珠和小维多
产区：南非斯泰伦博斯

Compagniesdrift（公司坡）：这片温暖的北向坡地土壤主要由风化花岗岩形成。源自这片花岗岩山顶的葡萄酒风格鲜明、结构强劲，主要得益于粗糙的砾石质地和足够的土壤深度，促进葡萄长时间均匀成熟。
River Terraces（河流阶地）：沙质土壤中夹杂圆形河石，利于根系广泛生长。庄园内此区域昼夜温差最大，赋予葡萄酒精致的果香和浓郁的风味发展。
Quarry（采石场）：由灰瓦克岩与页岩互层构成的极端多石地形，为葡萄藤提供独特生长基质。这片凉爽多风的山麓坡地上，浅根葡萄藤孕育出以红色水果为特征的葡萄酒，兼具非凡的余韵、细节与精准度。
Lowlands（低地）：古老河口遗迹留下的深层风化灰瓦克岩与页岩形成富黏土土壤。这片普遍凉爽的南向黏土地块产出的葡萄酒，通常质地柔顺丝滑，黑果风味突出。

品酒笔记：
色泽极富年轻活力，深浓几乎带紫色调。典型鲁比孔香气中蕴含紫罗兰、成熟李子、雪松、茴香与强烈辛香，甘草气息亦清晰可辨。虽仍年轻强劲，口感却酒体饱满、结构分明，充满新鲜深色水果风味，单宁圆润，橡木气息无缝融合。陈年潜力：在理想酒窖条件下可陈酿 10-20 年。Vintage: 2021

The Rubicon is a true expression of the Meerlust estate and draws fruit from our four distinctive terroirs. Each terroir provides a unique element to the final blend.
Compagniesdrift - The soils from this warm north facing slope are predominantly formed from   weathered granite. The wines originating from this granitic hilltop are expressive and bold in structure, mainly due to the coarse gravelly texture and sufficient soil depth to promote long and even ripening.
River Terraces - Sandy soils laced with rounded river stones allow for excellent root proliferation. This area of the Estate experiences the greatest shift between day and night temperatures, promoting flavour development of these delicate and fruit forward wines.
Quarry - The extremely rocky terrain consisting of greywacke with interbedded shales provides a unique substrate for vines. Shallow rooted vines on this cool and windswept foot slope leads to wines with characteristic red fruit with exceptional length, detail, and precision.
Lowlands - The remains of an ancient estuary are marked by clay-rich soils from deeply weathered greywacke and shales. The wines from this generally cool south facing, clay-rich terroir is typically smooth and silky in texture with prominent black fruit.

Characteristics：
Very youthful colour, deep and dense with almost purple hue. Quintessential Rubicon nose with violets, ripe plum, cedar wood, fennel, and intense spiciness. Typical liquorice notes also evident on the nose. Still young and intense, the palate is full bodied, structured but packed with fresh dark fruit and rounded tannins and seamlessly integrated oak. Ageing Potential - 10 - 20 years, provided wine is stored in ideal cellar conditions.
