Meerlust
Meerlust Estate, one of South Africa’s most iconic wineries, has been producing exceptional wines for over 300 years. Nestled on the rolling hills outside Stellenbosch, Meerlust is celebrated for its rich heritage, terroir-driven quality, and dedication to creating wines of elegance and distinction. Owned by the Myburgh family for eight generations, the estate is a true pioneer in South African winemaking, renowned for blending Old World tradition with a New World vibrancy.
Meerlust’s signature wines are crafted from carefully selected grapes grown on vineyards influenced by cool ocean breezes and clay-rich soils, imparting depth, structure, and refined minerality. The estate’s flagship wine, the Meerlust Rubicon, a Bordeaux-style blend, showcases the skill and passion behind Meerlust’s winemaking. Known for its balance, complexity, and exceptional aging potential, Rubicon has established Meerlust as a leader in premium South African wines. Other estate favourites, including Meerlust Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Merlot, further highlight the unique terroir and meticulous craftsmanship of each vintage.
Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts alike, Meerlust wines offer a remarkable experience that captures the essence of Stellenbosch’s winemaking heritage. Explore our Meerlust collection to enjoy wines that embody tradition, innovation, and the timeless spirit of South Africa.
