About this Item
Meerlust Estate has been the pride of the Myburgh family since 1756. Having previously visited Bordeaux, Nico Myburgh realised that the terroir there was very similar to that of his farm near the Eerste River. In 1978, Giorgio joined Nico at Meerlust in which was to be a dynamic, fruitful decades-long friendship and partnership between owner-vintner and cellarmaster.
Critics Ratings
'2009 first bottling since 2005, made only in excellent cab yrs, shows astonishing depth & concentration. Plenty of new (80%) & seasoned oak to seamlessly structure dense layers of succulent fruit flavours, resulting in impressive harmony & wholeness.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2012, 4.5*
