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
‘Tall, dark and handsome in refined house style, 2012 shows minty notes with a piquant flavour profile lifted by 11% aromatic Cabernet Franc. Spicy oak (60% new) focuses the mineral centre.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*
‘There was no Meerlust Merlot in 2011, so this is a welcome return of a style that the winery makes as well as almost anyone in Stellenbosch. It’s a highly perfumed style, with aromas of truffle, green leaves and wild mushroom and a sweet core of berry fruit.’ - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2015, 91/100
