Produced one year after Hannes took over the running of the farm after the untimely death of his father, Nico, the 1989 Pinot still has lovely verve and structure - made by Giorgio Dalla Cia. Born as early as 1980, Meerlust Pinot Noir was one of the first proponents of the cultivar in South Africa, and is now sold in more than 30 countries. Reflecting the consistency in quality, the traditional label bearing a small rendition of the Myburgh family crest has remained essentially the same since its first appearance in 1979.
