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
‘Notably Bordeaux-like 2015, with classic berry and cigarbox aromas leading to fine balance of fruit, acid and firm dry tannins. Dollops of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot add to complexity. Savoury notes, with underlying generosity of fruit expressed with restraint. Deserves many years maturation in bottle.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (92 pts)
