Tasting Note

The Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 has an intense, vivid purple colour with slight gradation at the rim. On the nose the wine shows pronounced plum and classic cedar wood-cigar box notes with lifted dark fruit aromas. There is the characteristic hallmark aromas of fennel and liquorice associated with Meerlust Cabernet. On the palate the wine is full bodied but with richness of fruit and supple tannic structure typical of 2016

Product Notes

Meerlust Estate is a celebrated winery in South Africa, famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon. The Meerlust Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a true expression of the terroir, showcasing the unique characteristics of the Stellenbosch region. It pours a deep ruby color with intense aromas of blackberry, cassis, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and complex, with flavors of dark cherries, blackcurrant, and hints of spice. The tannins are firm and well-structured, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This wine can be enjoyed now, but will also benefit from further cellaring. It pairs perfectly with red meat dishes and strong cheese. The Meerlust Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of exceptional quality and elegance, truly reflecting the expertise and passion of the Meerlust team.

About the Winery

Meerlust Estate is a South African winery that has been the tradition and business of the Myburgh family, stretching since 1756 over eight generations. The person who established the estate was Johannes Albertus Myburgh. In 1959, Nicolas Myburgh received ownership of the winery. He started an extensive renovation and restoration program of its architectural structures that followed a Cape Dutch style. Even today, the family’s dedication and ambition of the art and craft of winemaking continue under the eight-generation Hannes Myburgh.
