Meerlust
One of South Africas most historic and iconic wineries, Stellenbosch estate Meerlust has been the pride of the Myburgh family since 1756. Their flagship wine is a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28 % Merlot, 20 % Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. The estates soils are like a mini-Bordeaux with the perfect combination of gravel deposits and iron-rich clay providing the perfect environment for growing these varieties. The estate is at the southern edge of Stellenbosch, just up from False Bay whose maritime influence keeps things towards the elegant and refined end of the spectrum Wonderful exotic aromas of plum, sandalwood and perfume, still with a touch of creamy vanilla. The palate is medium bodied with a forward dark fruit flavour of cassis and mulberry followed by a lithe tannic structure fleshed out with juicy fruit. The impression is one of litheness and grace rather than over-arching power
