Meerlust Estate Pinot Noir is a refined expression of Pinot Noir from the coastal Stellenbosch region, planted on granitic soils at the Compagniesdrift terroir. The combination of slow ripening from the cooling sea influence and the vineyard’s unique soil structure produces a wine with vibrant red berry fruit, earthy undertones, floral notes, and subtle spice. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed to small fermenters with light handling during fermentation to allow elegant extraction. The wine is matured in new and second-fill 300L barrels, resulting in a structured, complex, and layered red with bright acidity, fine lacy tannins, and a long, refined finish.

Meet the producer

Meerlust Estate has been owned by the Myburgh family since 1756. Today, under the guidance of 8th-generation Hannes Myburgh and winemaker Wim Truter, the estate combines centuries of tradition with modern winemaking expertise to craft elegant, terroir-driven wines from Stellenbosch.

Production

Grapes are hand-picked from selected blocks, destemmed, and gently crushed. Fermentation occurs in small fermenters with minimal extraction to preserve elegance and finesse. Post-fermentation, the wine is matured in a combination of new and second-fill 300L barrels to develop structure and complexity before bottling.

Tasting notes

Vibrant garnet colour with a youthful appearance. The nose shows lifted floral perfume with brooding red berries, earthy wild mushrooms, and hints of spice. The palate displays pure Pinot fruit, red cherry and musk flavours, fresh acidity, layered complexity, and fine, powdery tannins on the finish.

Food match

White and red meats, duck, Parma ham, grilled line fish, tuna, wild mushrooms, and traditional cheeses.
