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.
Long recognized for producing world-class wines, Meerlust Estate has been the pride of the Myburgh family since 1756. Today, the traditional dedication to the art of winemaking continues under the guidance of Hannes Myburgh, eighth generation custodian of this seventeenth-century national monument.
Critics Ratings
'A wonderfully mature South African Pinot Noir, the 1993 Meerlust is light in body with a delicate structure and good composure. Decaying leaves, red fruit and a lemon acidity lead to layers of complexity and serious length. Evolving in the glass over time, this is a magical wine that should appeal to Burgundy lovers.' - 92 points Roland Peens 2020
