Growing fine wines on the Meerlust Estate has been the pride of the Myburgh family for eight generations since 1756. The name Meerlust means �pleasure of the sea�, as the property is situated 5km from False Bay (and 15km south of Stellenbosch). The proximity to the sea allows its vineyards to benefit from the cooling effect of the prevailing south-east wind during the hot Cape summers, permitting a slow ripening of the grapes for a rich varietal aroma. The wines produced at The Meerlust Estate are all made exclusively from grapes grown on the Estate. Meerlust, one of the Cape's most historic wine estates, was originally planted in 1693. In 1756, it was purchased by the first Myburgh and has been the pride of the family ever since.Today, the dedication to quality winemaking continues under the guidance of 8th generation, Hannes Myburgh. Cellar Master, Chris Williams has worked on the estate since 1995 and has been in charge of winemaking since 2004.
