About this Item

Merlot, 2007
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

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

'2007 herbal, slightly leafy (from 13% cab franc?), with mulberry red berry fruit. Tannins still slightly puckering. Lacks nuance, detail, length of 2006.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2011, 4.5*
