About this Item
Meerlust Estate, owned by the Myburgh family, has been in the family for eight generations. Located 5km from False Bay, the property was given the name 'Meerlust' from the original owner, which means 'pleasure of the sea'. The Meerlust name is synonymous with tradition, elegance and longevity. In fact, it was their Cabernet Sauvignon, produced since 1975, that was the first to carry the Meerlust label.
Critics Ratings
'Slight greenery, mushroom and earth. Opening up to warm soft fruit and a supple palate. Rich and velvety, with soft succulent and sweet fruit. Nice length with an earthy edge. Drink now to 2035' - Roland Peens (Feb 2021), 91/100
'Wood polish, mint, liquorice, soy. Palate is lively, actually still a little angular. This would benefit from decanting.'- Higgo Jacobs (Feb 2021), 91/100
'Concentrated, intense 05 from low-yield vyd. Cassis, leafy notes lead to supple, sumptuous & vibrant palate. Still young, showing dense tannins, but flavour, length & intensity to rival 04 (first since 93). 2 yrs oak, 75% new.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2009, 4.5*
