About this Item

Pinot Noir, 2004
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.

Chris Williams had worked at Meerlust since 1995 and his first vintage as head winemaker produced a startling 5-star award in the Platter’s SA Wine Guide.

Critics Ratings

‘2004 stunning showcase for variety’s signature silky tannins; brooding aromas of subtle red fruit prelude to harmonious black cherry, tobacco notes on intense, sweet, yet, restrained palate; persistent smoky spice fans out on finish. 11 mths 70% new oak. Gorgeous, & emphatic step up from gentle 2003.’  Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2009, 5*
