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
‘All vintages from maiden '75 through to '84 have been awarded Superior ratings. In lighter-to-medium bodied style, with delicacy and complexity of first-rate Cabernet; but not in the dense, blackcurrant and billowing vanilla vogue of some new world Cabernets. '83 fair with intriguing wild bouquet. Cabernets here reflect cooling maritime influence of nearby (4-5km) False Bay. Harvested 2-3 weeks later than hotter inland areas.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 1989
