About this Item

1997 Pinot Noir
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

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.

Producer Notes:
This garnet and ruby-hued Pinot Noir has black cherry, raspberry and rich strawberry aromas. Surprise clove spices, with hints of mineral earthiness and pepper on the nose that follow through to the palate. Full bodied-mouthfeel, with fine tannins. Nice, lingering fruits on the delicate finish. In the classical styles of fine Pinot Noir.
