MEERLUST RED 19

Meerlust Estate has been part of the Myburgh family tradition for eight generations, dating back to 1756. Long recognized for producing world-class wines, the Meerlust Estate is singularly rich in charm and history. Meerlust is situated fifteen kilometers south of Stellenbosch, with the blue crescent of False Bay just five kilometers away. The Estate is uniquely positioned for the production of wines with exceptional complexity and character. One hundred and ten hectares are planted, mainly with red varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes:
The wine has an intense, dark purple color with a violet rim. Bright and vivacious in the glass, very youthful. The nose is expressive with powerful cassis, plum, exotic spice and hints of floral aromas. On the palate the wine is medium bodied with intense flavors of crushed black fruit, cassis, vanilla and dark chocolate. The tannins are very soft and silky with fresh acidity and a focused, linear flavor profile. The wine has a persistent and long lasting aftertaste.
