Grape

Merlot

Origin
The Meerlust estate has been owned by the Myburgh family since 1757. Made in the 'right-bank' tradition, this wine is a blend of 89% Merlot with 11% Cabernet Franc added for a supple and balanced structure and aromatic complexity.
Taste
Deep, youthful purple with a ruby rim. Juicy plum and mulberry fruit abound on the nose, with lifted spiciness, hints of chocolate and a beefy edge. The palate offers silky tannins and good length.
Enjoy
Partner with a rich beef bourguignon.

Staff Reviews

  • Unbelievable complexity and depth

    "I've tried this wine 3 times this year and every time been impressed with its overall quality and complexity. An inviting nose of stewed plums and cedar draws you in and on the palate it doesn't disappoint with delicious stewed fruits and a hint of spice from the 16 months spent in a mixture of new and old oak. A long and satisfying finish makes sure that this wine offers real value for money especially as you consider that it will improve over the next decade."

  • One of the best merlots around

    "A truly epic wine showing all the hall marks of a classic St Emilion Grand Cru classe but without the pricetag. The blend of 89%merlot and 11% cabernet franc creates a rich mulberry scented wine. On the palate the mulberry notes are joined by plums ,chocolate and hints of tobacco. This wine has the structure to age for at least 10 years but is highly enjoyable now if partnered to rich hearty food."
