Meerlust Estate Pinot Noir is a stunning wine that embodies the essence of South African winemaking. This wine is produced in Stellenbosch, a region well-known for its exceptional terroir and viticultural practices. Meerlust Estate Pinot Noir is crafted using only the finest hand-picked Pinot Noir grapes, which are carefully vinified to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the grape.

Appearance: Intense, vivid opaque youthful purple-ruby colour.

Nose: Pronounced lifted floral perfume on the nose with a brooding and seductive dark berry fruit, musk, wild mushrooms, hints of iron, savoury richness and spice, and an intense vibrant minerality. 

Taste: On the palate, there are very pure Pinot fruit flavours on entry with red cherry and musk flavours coupled with fresh acidity. The wine has layered complexity with great elegance and finesse. 

Finish: Very fine lacy, almost powdery tannin on the finish.

Food pairings: Enjoy white and red meats, duck, parmesan ham, grilled line fish, tuna, wild mushrooms, and traditional cheeses.

About the producer: Long recognized for producing world-class wines, Meerlust Estate has been the pride of the Myburgh family since 1756. Today, the traditional dedication to the art of winemaking continues under the guidance of Hannes Myburgh, eighth-generation custodian of this seventeenth-century national monument. Meerlust, with its historic manor house, classic wine cellar, family cemetery, dovecote, and bird sanctuary is situated fifteen kilometers south of Stellenbosch, with the blue crescent of False Bay a mere five kilometers away. Wines are only made from grapes grown on the Estate which is uniquely positioned for the production of wines with exceptional complexity and character.
