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.
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.

'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*
