Meerlust Estate
Meerlust ‘Rubicon’ Red Blend
Beautifully perfumed. A floral nose with violets, ripe plum, cedar wood and intense spiciness. The palate is medium bodied, structured by beautifully sleek, ripe tannins which restrain the vibrant delicate fruit, giving the wine an opulent texture which is kept focused by the linear acidity.
Description
Meerlust Estate
Meerlust Estate is a winery in South Africa that has been owned by the Myburgh family since
1756. The estate is a national treasure and a 17th century National Monument.
The estate’s name, Meerlust, means “pleasure of the sea”. The first owner, Henning Huysing,
a German immigrant, settled on the property in 1693. He named the estate because of its
proximity to the cool waters of False Bay.
The Myburgh family has produced world-class wines at Meerlust Estate. The current owner,
Hannes Myburgh, is the eighth generation of the family to own the estate. He studied wine
making at Geisenheim in Germany.
The estate has Cape Dutch architecture and beautiful vineyards.
