Tasting Note

Very bright, polished platinum with green, vivacious hue. Complex, appealing nose with pear, citrus and floral notes developing into lemon cream, oatmeal, and marzipan richness. On the palate the wine is medium bodied and linear but retains generous focused citrus fruit flavours with sleek, balanced, and crisp acidity. The wine remains vivacious and fresh on the finish with clean citrus fruit and stony minerality. The wine has a long, very pleasant lingering finish. Decanting and exposure to air opens the aroma and palate of the wine.

Product Notes

Meerlust Estate Chardonnay is a premium wine from South Africa that is a perfect blend of elegance and complexity. This golden-hued wine is produced from Chardonnay grapes grown on the estate's vineyards in Stellenbosch, one of South Africa's most renowned wine-growing regions. The nose reveals a lovely bouquet of citrus, figs, peaches, and oak with a hint of vanilla. The palate is rich and creamy, with crisp acidity that balances the intense mineral and fruit flavors. Enjoy this wine with seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes. Meerlust Estate Chardonnay is a luxurious wine that exemplifies the best of South African winemaking.

About the Winery

Meerlust Estate

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.
